Jane who has been on 17 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic week - stunning scenery, beautiful horses | We changed horses at least twice a day. We were given helpful guidance as to the best way to ride each horse. I found ‘tolt’ incredibly difficult to start with ( most of the ride is in this gait) and so was thrilled when I finally mastered it! The horses were fabulous- each very different but all so sweet natured.

Meg who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous experience | It was a really novel experience to ride Icelandic horses with their unusual gait. It took a little getting used to at first, but you quickly become accustomed to it.

Ann who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous | Lovely kind and able horses.

Derry who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Magical! | What an incredible week riding a selection - 9 in total - of fantastic, big-hearted, sure-footed, forward going, comfortable and well trained Icelandic horses through some wonderful and varying landscapes. Experiencing the tolt for the first time and riding with the herd are experiences that I will never forget.

Our guide - Gracina - was the best. An exceptional rider whose love for the horses was obvious. We were briefed every time we changed horses so that we knew what to expect and could have the best ride possible. Always in control but lots fun and great company at the same time. We were very well looked after by the whole Hestasport team.

Susie who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Incredible holiday | The riding was incredible.
Fantastic forward going well trained ponies and great fun to ride the different gates of tolt and to get a go at the flying pace.
Gracina who was our ride leader was exceptional. She briefed us every time we rode a new pony (I rode 9) and advised on their way of going and how to get the most out of them.
Super people skills too. Very definitely in charge but caring and great company.
Helga the co owner of Hestasport also rode with us and was equally supportive.
Amazing to ride with the herd. Not an opportunity you get to take many times in your life.

Rachael who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. The most magical, special, unique experience! | The riding was amazing. Riding nine different ponies over the week enabled me to experience different expressions of the Tolt, this is now my favourite gait.
I was impressed by how well cared for the ponies were & how happy they were too.
We had a few long canters & a couple of gallops,but riding in the highland scenery was special

Bob who has been on 17 In The Saddle rides. One of the Best | I rode 9 different ponies during the course of the holiday and whilst obviously I liked some more than others they were all enjoyable/challenging in their own ways, and they were clearly very well cared for.
