Horsemanship Stays

Derby Livestock Company now offers national and international students the chance to learn the Balance / Signal / Softness approach of Vaquero Horsemanship, taught by Jeff Derby, at their new farmstead outside of Girona, Spain.

Horsemanship Stays are for people who wish to immerse themselves in Jeff’s approach to Vaquero Horsemanship on a working farm in Catalonia, Spain.

Students typically spend an average of half of each day working with Jeff; riding in the arena, riding out, working cattle horseback (if available), or practicing roping. When not working with Jeff or on horse projects, students are free to take the opportunity to watch Jeff ride his horses, or spend their time resting, traveling around, sightseeing, and adventuring as they like 

We have accommodations for students who wish to stay on the farm. Parking for camping trailers or vans is available, as well as tent camping.

Students staying at the farm will be served breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Pick up from the airport can be arranged, however if you wish to go sightseeing (on your days off) a rental car is advisable. 

Near by airports are Barcelona (1.5hours) or Girona (30minutes).
