Equus Silvania - Romania

Carpathia Forests and Bears

5 star rating   10 May 2025

Juliette who has been on 20 In The Saddle rides. Stunning countryside to ride | I arrived thinking the ribs I broke 10 weeks earlier were healed but it became quickly apparent they weren’t!
The team at Equis were brilliant and took me out on small rides independant of the main group,luckily walk and canter less excruciating!
The small routes we took were in wonderful pastures and forest tracks on a great Arab pony and Helena and Ana took great care of me

Nothing more needed


Do you have any other feedback for us?

Take sturdy walking boots for the forest walk ,it’s great and the guide Nico is very good and knowledgeable but it’s a steep uphill and downhill hill walk over loose ground and fallen trees.
Do the bear hide visit if you can, it was one of the best experiences of the week.

(ITS comment: Thank you for feedback, it's great to read that you enjoyed your holiday.)
