5 star rating   28 September 2024

Mandy who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Horse heaven! | They went above and beyond the trainers all 3 of them. They start you off on a sensible quieter Lutsatana (who knew all the high class work) to assess your riding ability. They can cater for beginners to advanced. They give you more and more sensitive horses each day, they are willing supple and each one taught me something else. I was lucky enough to have the most most stunning 7 yr old Neron (grey Lutsatana) who I fell in love with they kindly let me ride him 3 times in my 6 lessons. I was lucky enough to watch them training the youngsters, they love all there horse they are immaculately turned out and tacked up for you (gorgeous saddle and interesting plastic Pelham bits with one or two reins). I have already been transferring what was taught to my own advanced dressage horse, it worked rather well this morning riding him. I thoroughly recommend this holiday.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The house I stayed in was very pretty and I loved my bedroom and very pleasant en suite, a little garden at the back for sunbathing with loungers, swimming pool really nice just round the corner. The food was plain but good, amazing breakfast, salad and something hot for lunch, eves normally soup and some sort of main course and veg with a pudding. Its not gourmet but was very nice.

The staff are so friendly and nothing was any trouble, I needed eye drops, face cream (had to throw in the Customs bin annoying!).

I bought some lovely Quinta Dol Rol polo shirts and a gorgeous large horsey type canvas bag.

It rained for two days but that did not matter, two lovely schools one smaller indoor about 20 x 40 and full size olympic outside covered. The sun came out, it was such a relaxing place to go to, no stress great teaching and riding, planning to go back as soon as possible.
