Monte Velho - Portugal

Monte Velho

5 star rating   20 June 2025

Vicki (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous | From the most beautiful location to the most stunning horses! We really couldn’t have asked for more!
It was incredible to ride the advanced dressage moves and be put on the best horses. I was like a little girl with excitement and awe! Absolutely wonderful experience!
Our room was lovely, very comfortable with a view to die for! The sunrise was breath taking!
We had the pleasure of meeting all the mares and foals all living naturally in a herd, lovely to know they grow up like that until they naturally wean themselves. If I was 20 years younger I would have stayed on as an intern!
Thank you to In the Saddle and Monte Velho for a dream holiday. We will be back!
