Tessa who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Crete 21 - 27 April | I was given a lovely forward going horse to ride. The countryside was beautiful. Some rides were slower than others. I preferred the faster rides. There were some steep trails to navigate.

The food was excellent and the service very friendly. The drinks were not included but the bar bill at the end of the week was very reasonable. The location was fabulous. Unfortunately we had rain so we never managed to try the pool!
