Spanish term

Pistas de salto y equitaciòn

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Hi all,

The term "Pistas de salto y equitaciòn" appears in a list of features and amenities included in a property listing for a luxury rental home in Argentina.

I believe it refers to horse-riding grounds, but I'm not sure what the appropriate equivalent would be. Considering the fact that the home is extremely expensive and set within a gated community, the term(s) should sound slightly exclusive and/or luxury-class. UK/US suggestions are welcome.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Scott

Salto usually refers to "show jumping". While "equitation" does exist in English, it is usually referred to simply as a "riding" ring, where flatwork is done.
