The Riding
The Accommodation
Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?
It was clearly not 5* and the price reflected that - I was very happy with everything and thought the hosts were very generous, paying for all the breakfasts out etc, and having an open bar all day every day was very brave!
Before Your Holiday
Did you have all of the information you needed to:
How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?
everything was fine!
How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?
nothing, you were very helpful and responsive
Do you have any other feedback for us?
I would happily book through you again and while I probably won't return to Los Alamos again, it wasn't because it wasn't great, I would just like to try different places
Patti (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) A lovely week! | The horses were beautiful but the riding was very 2 paced - it was either walk or gallop. (the guide kept saying we would have a slow canter, but such a thing did not exist!) We were all experienced riders and the galloping was great, but we had to walk a lot to allow the horses to cool down, so personally I would rather have had some nice slow canters and not quite so much walking. And for me personally, probably as I have ridden in coastal Australia a lot, the landscape got bit samey. There were people who were back for the 12th time though!!
Really nicely structured with only 4-5 hours riding (much of it walking) so if you hadn't ridden for a year like me, it was no problem and it was really nice having the afternoons round the pool.
