Monte Velho - Portugal

Elisabeth (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) A paradise for Lusitanians lovers | The horses were brilliant school masters.
Always cooperative and in great shape.
The instructors were very passionate about their work and cared that every lesson made a difference for us in our technical improvement journey

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The food is really home-made and with a variety on offer. There is always something for everyone.
Wines were excellet too, the service very friendly.
We even had the chance to welcome a musician and spend an evening singing and dancing.
A great memory!

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

Perfect service from In the Saddle!
Very smooth organization, we could really felt on holidays with nothing to worry about from the first contact, the booking until the actual time we were in Portugal.
We are glad that we have booked another trip with In The Saddle for 2027

How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

It has been perfect!

Do you have any other feedback for us?

I felt that it is a pity that the lessons are for 2 people with individual work not silultaneously. It means that we work during session of 15mn each and meanwhile one rider has to be autonomous. I would rather have an intensive 30mn teaching rather than this stop and go feeling.
In the past I rode at another place in Portugal where all riders would follow the same teaching at the same time, having 10 minutes individual exercises in the end. I prefered this later format.
