Ratekjokk Trail - Sweden

Ratekjokk Trail

5 star rating   6 August 2022

Amy who has been on 13 In The Saddle rides. Satisfyingly peaceful yet still a great adventure | We had some very novice riders along, unfortunately, and we spent a Lot of time waiting for them to tack up, cross water, etc. Horses were happy to eat while waiting but it was still frustrating. Luckily we were never in a hurry but it would have been nice if the guide had addressed the issue. I absolutely was in love with my horse and would have brought him home! All the horses took very good care of us and I’m continually impressed by the Icelandics’ attitude, personality, sure-rootedness and charm.

Amazing that cooking was done at lunch - I’d have been quite happy to pack lunch. Three vegetarians on the ride and alternative protein was cooked and delicious.

Do you have any other feedback for us?

I was disappointed that we did not have a Sami guide, as the description indicated we would. While our guide answered any questions she could I think we would have learned a lot more from a Sami.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you very much for taking the time to send us your feedback. Sometimes Kerstin, the owner, isn't available to guide and in these circumstances another guide will be used. It cannot be guaranteed that a Sami guide will be available for each date. I will certainly check our documentation to make sure this is clear.]
