Tine Anette who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Very satisfied with Miguel and Altaf. They did a great and beautiful job so that we could say good things. Too bad that another guest (not booked through In The Saddle) would not comply with Miguel's instructions and later in the week withdrew completely from the social activities of the company. Reason: the guest galloped up completely from the back, and it caused some commotion among the horses. And then I gave that guest a lecture about rider behavior…. The guest immediately replied that they would only do as they wanted ….. Obviously rude …. But the rest of the company was excellent in terms of riding and fun.

We had expected 20-25 degrees, but got a heat wave with almost 36 degrees all week.... It's impossible to predict the weather, so no criticism, and we fought through it, even though we were melting at times.
