Roberta who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Magnificent Autumnal Trail Ride | Excellent

Cathryn (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fantastic trip | The horses were really lovely- their care was the number one consideration for the team there. They were extremely fit and responsive, and I felt mine were well matched.
The riding was great- day one wasn't the best riding as you were passing around the edges of towns and there was some litter- but by day two you reached the open countryside and it was wonderful. The days were long and some fast riding so you need to be fit!
The countryside and scenery was absolutely incredible and the guides were very good.

Charlotte who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Beautiful Autumn Ride | It was the end of season, but the horses were all still very keen. Great walks, trots, gallops. Varied terrain - never dull. The autumn colors were amazing.

Amanda who has been on 13 In The Saddle rides. Romania trail ride | Well paced, fun, fast riding through varied scenery- Sam was an excellent ride leader and we had great back up, especially from Silviou who always had everything ready to take care of both horses and riders at the end of the day.
I was very happy with both my horses.

Caroline (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Amazing, exciting adventure | The riding exceeded my expectations. The horses were all super fit, forward going and appeared so well looked after.

Fiona (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fast, Fun & Friendly | The horses were really well cared for, schooled in a menage between trails, so remained fresh and responsive. Very forward going which was a joy. Would have liked more jumping of 'natural obstacles'.

Naja who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Very strong, well-groomed, sweet and obedient horses. Riding was at times quite fast and for a long time, so you had to be a capable rider who does not mind high pace.

Antonia who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Amazing riding and fantastic horses | The riding was fast, adventurous and testing and I really enjoyed it.

Catherine (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fantastic riding on wonderful horses. Lots of canters in beautiful countryside and some gallops to get your heart pumping. | Lots of varied riding from wide open fields to riding through old forests. The guides Sam, Tanya and Mika made every ride interesting and fun. They can tell you lots about the local area and are very approachable. There are lots of canters and some exhiliarating races that the horses love. We even had the opportunity to pop some small logs in the forest. A great ride that I would happily do again!

Johnny (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fast and Furious | I had two horses during the ride as the first horse was tired by the third day and unable to keep up with the group in gallup.

Nichola who has been on 17 In The Saddle rides. Romania, Transylvania Trail | My horse was lovely, beautifully behaved, extremely fit and fast when she got the opportunity. Other riders had, I would say, exaggerated their riding ability and experience and were given a horse they could not control so for the first few days the pace was mostly walk and trot to avoid any incidents. I think it would have been helpful if there had been an assessment ride either at the centre or use Day 1 as a trail ride returning to Equus Silvana for the first night so any changes that need to be made can be carried out promptly. Interestingly we were not asked to sign any waiver forms before or during the ride and I'm not sure any incident forms were completed when someone fell off which happened on two occasions. My horse, as I said was fabulous, others were unfit and simply could keep up with a not very fast ride. My tack was fine but other's found their saddles very uncomfortable and there was a dearth of spare tack.

(ITS NOTE: We have investigated the two falls; incident forms were completed and signed by those involved. Thank you very much for your other comments, which we take on board and have passed on to your hosts).

Silvia P who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Beautiful landscapes and exciting gallops | It was VERY rainy, and one of the days we couldn´t ride because the mud was really dangerous - so slippery. But this is nobody´s fault. Other than that, the ride was amazing, with very beautiful views and well behaved horses. They know their job! The good thing about the rain is that everything was very green and the air was so clean we could enjoy breathking mountain views.
