An excellent week spent on horseback. Ideal for disconnecting and recharging amidst magnificent scenery. Despite the language barrier, the team was very welcoming, lovely, and went to great lengths to ensure we could communicate. Safety was taken seriously, and the advice was very relevant, all within a relaxed atmosphere. A wonderful experience that I would love to repeat!
