Amanda (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Lovely weekend | We were only riding 2 days, so it is hard to comment properly. The first days riding was short and sadly only walking, so I did feel a little short changed. especially as my friend was ill the following day and this was the only ride she got. (ITS comment: your introductory ride is generally at a slower pace)
The staff were lovely, when we arrived they asked about what we liked to ride, however this did seem to be a little dismissed as we were put on exactly the type of ponies we both said we preferred not to ride! I.e. small ponies with no withers. we did ask why, and were told this was because we showed better riding ability, However we found the ponies to be lovely easy rides, not challenging at all.
The second ride was brilliant, it was a shame my companion was unwell.
