5 star rating   27 September 2025

Nicky (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Brilliant first visit to Monte Velho! | The horses I rode were on the whole really great and I learnt something from each of them. I think it was slightly unfortunate that some visitors seemed to be able to request specific horses/trainers, which may have resulted in others not getting the opportunity to ride these horses or work with the trainers.

Having said all of this, I trained mainly with Teresa, and greatly appreciated her patience, insight and sense of humour!
