Olwen Law

Olwen's passions are horse riding and travel and she set up In The Saddle in 1995 after a career in accountancy. Since then Olwen has ridden in six continents in more countries than she cares to remember. In the UK she competes in Endurance at distances up to 80 kms on her Arabian horse.

She reckons that her toughest ride was across the Namib desert from Windhoek to the coast. The thrill of cantering with wildlife in Africa is a fantastic experience but she maintains that the most fun to be had on horseback is at a tolt on an Icelandic horse across the Iceland wilderness.

Olwen says "There is a special magic to traveling on horseback. You get to ride in some truly spectacular landscapes without another soul in sight. And whether it's arriving at a remote ger camp in Mongolia or a mountain village in Spain there is an immediate connection with the locals as they welcome you to their homeland.
