Fiona (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous time with lovely Lusitanos! 🙂 | The horses were highly trained and very responsive; the instructors often changes horses to help you improve your riding and learn/experience specific movements.
Instructors are very passionate about their horses and helping you get as much as you can from you tuition.
It was lovely to be as hands on with your horse as you wanted to be; grooming, tacking up etc.
A lovely bonus was to see how their breeding programme works; the day I arrived a foal was born!
Right from the instructors down to the groom/chef/cleaners, I felt like one of the family by the time I left. 🙂

Henriette Hvid (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) All the horses were well schooled, but some were better than others in gaits and agility. The boxes were a little small for some of the horses. The tack ranged from "good condition to easier worn." I was challenged on my riding skills that I can use on the horses at home in Denmark. This is not the last time I book a holiday with Rid & Rejs.

Graham who has been on 8 In The Saddle rides. Excellent | Instruction was brilliant. You often are asked to do things whilst riding, carry your hands at a certain height, sit on this or that seat bone, but not often are the effects of the aids explained in detail. George was excellent at doing this. I enjoyed his and Renato's lessons very much and look forward to a return visit.

F (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Piaffes in Portugal | had wanted to go on a dressage holiday and it was certainly that. The dressage teaching, schoolmaster level of the horses and therefore the level of execution possible even for me was to a level that I have not been able to access at local riding schools.

Dressage Fan who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Alcainca dressage | Excellent instructors and wonderful horses. Tack somewhat stiff - especially the reins which is difficult for people with small hands.

Caro (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Wonderful Horses and Instructors | It rained and was cold the whole stay, so we weren’t able to ride outside. Other than that I had a wonderful time there! I found one horse that I liked, and others that I didn’t like that much..
