The Riding :: Using a scale of 5 = excellent/very much so, to 1 = poor/not at all
Were you matched with the right level of horse for your ability? 4
Were you satisfied with the variety of riding, pace or terrain? 5
Please rate the overall standard of the horses, tack and stables 5
Any comments about the riding, e.g. did it meet your expectations? For me the riding was all I had hoped for, riding out for 6-7hrs a day across stupendous scenery to work and check the cattle was what I came for. Anyone expecting to spend all day galloping about might be disappointed as you dont work cattle at a gallop!

How we could improve the quality of pre-holiday information we send Transfer hotel is fine and comfortable but might be better to be in Denver as there's nothing else there except a few other hotels
How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment All fine.
Any other comments Superb holiday which lived up to the dream. Made to feel like I was visiting friends rather than a paying guest.

Comments About the Accommodation and Food After the first few days the food became slightly 'nurseryfied. The food was good but there was a tendancy to provide tart like desserts. For some reason the food was better at the start of our stay. But Peter, one chef, cooked us a super warthog, so hey

How we could improve the quality of pre-holiday information we send I am sure I can speak for all of us the FCO advice about safety etc was extremely scarey and in the main we found it not relevant to our area, I'm pleased to say.
How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment None, all excellent and helpful
Any other comments Many thanks Tracym this was a holiday of a lifetime, you'll have to work hard to beat this one for us.

Any comments about the riding, e.g. did it meet your expectations? Far exceeded my expectations. Absolutely fantastic. Good selection of horses to ride. Never laughed so much playing polocrosse. The swimming is the best riding experience I have ever had.

How we could improve the quality of pre-holiday information we send The security information (FCO advice) could do with a cover note as the Waterberg area was very safe. Maybe some local crime figures could put this into perspective.

How we could improve the quality of pre-holiday information we send The security onformation we received a week before travelling (FCO Advice) scared us a little. It is good to be prepared but maybe some information about the area we were visiting would have given some reassurance that the Waterberg area was very safe.

Any other comments Just to say we had a fantastic time at Horizon. We were a little concerned that it wouldn't live up to expectations a second time round but Horizon surpassed its self. We were also worried that our friends wouldn't enjoy it as much as we did (as they ha

How we could improve the quality of pre-holiday information we send Some tips on typical airline travel in the UK would have been helpful (timing, checked luggage, carry-on luggage, etc). I'm not British and I was really surpised by how slow and inefficient the check-in process was with Easy Jet (even when I checked in on
