Lene (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Namib Desert - Leave the world behind | The most amazing horses. They were the daytime stars of the show, making us feel both thrilled and safe through fast and challenging terrain. Special shout out to Larissa for her amazing love for the horses.

[Abbie from ITS replies: Many thanks for your super feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your desert adventure].

Ann who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Goes without saying the best way to experience the breath-taking landscapes of this unique country is from the back of a horse. | Epic adventure, fabulous athletic horses, very skilled guides, well rehearsed routine for guests and horses… for their welfare and your safety… it works… just go with the flow… I was the oldest rider at 60, twice the age of a lot of the guests but if you can ride well, and are fit and healthy, have a sense of humour and aren’t daunted by long hours in the saddle age is just a number… my knees killed me to be fair after 40km or more in the saddle each day but as soon as I was off the horse I recovered in minutes ready for another day. Don’t be fooled by the frequently used term LSD (aka long slow distance) it’s not slow! But cantering or galloping fast for 5-10 minutes at a time on fit horses that lope along without getting out of breath is heavenly and doesn’t hurt your knees! Bring it on!

[In The Saddle replies: We're thrilled that you enjoyed your adventure in the beautiful Namibian desert. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your trip].

Eole who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Namibia desert ride - Amazing trip! | Everything was perfect!

Rosa who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Namib Desert Safari - a must do trip | This is holiday for truly experienced riders who are comfortable riding sensitive and forward going horses in varied terrain. If you are confident and comfortable with this sort of riding you will have an amazing experience!! The horses are so well cared for and the matching of horse to rider was perfect. You get to pitch in with the grooming, feeding and racking up as well which is also really lovely.
