What our clients say

“Great experience, great company and coachWe stayed at Les and Audrey’s property which Becky arranged for us and did the tapas ride on the first day and the 4 hour ride the following day. I wanted to take my daughter on a trekking holiday but she is not so confident and I’m not fit enough but this was a great way to do it. Becky tailored the rides to suit us. Really enjoyed both. Becky is lovely the horses well behaved, the area and the accommodation were fantastic. We hope to return very soon.“
