Transylvania Trail - Romania

Transylvania Trail

5 star rating   19 August 2023

Mia who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. So far, this is the ride where I think the horses have been taken care of the best, and that makes me extremely happy.
The saddlebags weren't the best though. Small and so worn that there were holes and straps that broke etc.
I had the 3rd fastest horse, but unfortunately I was not allowed to feel her full speed as we were not allowed to break the order in which we rode and there was no possibility of a race, due to the ground being too dry and hard. But it sounded like it would have been an option otherwise?

It was truly magical to spend the night in Viscri. Cobor was also such a luxury and idyllic.
The food was really delicious. Exciting to try Romanian food.

Do you have any other feedback for us?

The people who worked for us this week were absolutely fantastic. Especially Marius and Jackie made a big impression on me.
He arranged a spontaneous and special visit to a bear hide when we stayed overnight in the "Hunters Lodge". Unfortunately we didn't see any bears, but it was a great experience regardless.
The culture part or what we did when we weren't riding has also been very exciting and entertaining compared to other rides.
This riding holiday is just a whole week of country idyll and I was a big fan.
