Charlie (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) What a Mix! | All riding types and times in the saddle were accurate. It’s difficult to match up to people’s expectations when it comes to a beach ride, and we may have had overly ambitious thoughts of a gallop, but due to sea state, time of year, the sand just seemed too deep. So any preconceived ideas of a gallop where quickly quashed. It was still lovely but hard work for the horses and riders rather than the joyful blast.

The first, 5th and 6th night accommodation was our favourite. Just lovely ambiance and beautiful rooms and surrounding. The others were perfectly nice but over shadowed by standard of the first night!

I think a couple of attendees didn’t receive the pack initially but all did in the end
