Monte Velho - Portugal

Jayne who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Luxury Dressage break | Monte Velho have very good horses and excellent instructors. However, this time I noticed one particular horse was being used too often for lessons (not just my opinion but the instructors too). This horse’s saddle was also not fitting well and I believe causing some discomfort. They do need some more well schooled dressage horses to share the load. I did notice they have just bought a couple more horses for dressage lessons so hopefully this will be less of an issue going forwards. [In The Saddle replies: Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed your return trip. Monte Velho have indeed bought some new horses and so hopefully going forward it won’t be necessary for the very popular schoolmasters to be used so often.]

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Accommodation and food are excellent. There is also a lovely pool, lounge, hot tub and sauna.
