Sissel who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic riding holiday at Los Alamos! | I had a fantastic time the horses are so well trained and really looked after (this is very important) I liked the way they gave me the opportunity to try different horses and challange myself on strong and very fast horses. Tremendus guides and the hospitality is excellent at both the stable and at the house. This was my second time at Los Alamos but not the last.

Helen (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous Horses, Fabulous location, Fabulous Hosts | The rides were well planned and varied. Stunning views and wonderful beaches.
Our group were well matched in riding ability. Everyone was experienced and up for the thrill of fast riding when conditions were appropriate.
The horses are wonderful! Well schooled, keen, fit, responsive and very forward going. The riding is not suitable for beginners.
Rachel puts a lot of thought into matching the right horse with the right rider. She truly loves and understands each horse in her care. Jose and Roberto are both excellent horsemen and it was a privilege to be under their guidance whilst on horseback.
The riding and the horses were beyond my expectations, and my expectations were high!
Thank you xx

Joanne who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Incredible | Myself and my sister in law have had a fabulous holiday at los alamos, the horses were incredible, sensitive, kind and very strong throughout including varied terrain, woodland, and sand were they gave us a safe and happy ride.
Our accommodation was great and everything we wished for was provided from lunches out at local restaurants to home cooked meals in the evening! We even managed a swim in the pool! We are definitely returning next year! Thank you

Emma who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous in all respects | The riding was exactly what was advertised and I loved my horse ( Karim)
For my next holiday I would go for longer hours in the saddle, but that is absolutely not a negative comment on this trip. It was exactly as billed.

Karen who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Good | this was my second ride at Los alamos. Andrew, Rhianon and Jack absolutely amazing and could not do enough to make the stay enjoyable. however I was a bit disappointed with riding. I feel like I did something wrong when I rode in May as I was not given any of the horses I like to ride until I made a bit of a fuss about it on the last but one day. If I did something wrong in May it would be nice to be told. Also it feels like regulars get preferences on horses. [In The Saddle replies: Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are pleased you had a good time overall, and have followed up your comments with Los Alamos. They say you have absolutely done nothing wrong in the past, and they are sorry you felt there was preferences given. They also agree that the food at one of the bars at lunch time was not of the usual standard. This was due to staff shortages, but is now rectified.]

Martine who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. A wonderful experience | Los Alamos never fail to impress. We had yet another great stay and enjoyed every minute. The horses are so well cared for, and so well behaved. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, and it was great to celebrate Christmas with the Los Alamos crew, including fellow guests. Highly recommend!

Manna who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. 12/10 totally recommend | Rachel does a fantastic job of hearing the riders out on their wants/expectations, taking into considerations personalities of riders/horses and making matches. I started with a sweet Arab that is easier to handle to start off to get used to, and switched to a gorgeous Andalusian that taught me so much in the 3 days with him. They can switch gears up and down very smoothly and the ride throughout felt very steady and energetic.

Jennifer who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Superb riding holiday | Exhilarating riding in beautiful forest and on long, stunning beach stretches. Faster paces well-matched with slower sections made very well-balanced rides. Felt horses' and riders' best interests were put first at all times. Expertly-led, thoroughly enjoyable.

Nikki (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Excellent | All the horses that I rode were fantastic. Well looked after, responsive and fun to ride. The guides were brilliant, chatty and informative, but also happy to let you quietly enjoy the experience if that is more your thing.
Our group was of mixed ability and Rachel, Jose and Roberto managed to cater for everybody whilst also ensuring that the rides were safe.
Really appreciate them being so generous with sharing the horses.

Paula (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Adventure on horseback in stunning coastal surroundings with excellent professional care and safety! | It far exceeded expectations. Rachel was extremely observant and was determined to fit the rider to the right horse -putting health and safety above all else. The horses were superb -fit, strong and responsive (and made us feel as though we were better riders than we probably were!) The leaders, front and back were attentive, kind to us (and of course, the horses) and encouraging - keen to help and intent on giving us a great day's ride. Galloping along the beach as the sun was rising was an unforgettable, exhilarating experience and coffee and toast in forest restaurant a close second!

Julia who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Life changing | The riding met all my expectations and more! I loved every single second of my riding experience. I was totally overwhelmed by it in fact and how happy it made me feel. My horse Hercules looked after me and I felt confident throughout the week. At times I was out of my comfort zone which made the rides more exciting! I was surprised at myself and what I was actually able to do….
