Reviews

Louise M.

This was a trip that had everything , the riding centre has wonderful horses, facilities and instructors. I would highly recommend it to any rider looking for adventure and instruction. A warm welcoming centre focused on the individual needs of their clients. With extra thanks to Stacey ,who made sure we were properly booked, safely arrived and safely returned.

This was a fantastic experience! I was worried about the heat and wildfires in Spain, but we were spared, and everything was perfect. The horses at the school stole my heart. Catite, a Lusitano, the schoolmaster with whom I did a lot of flat/lateral work in the arena, and Lucerito, a gorgeous Fresian who took me in the ‘fields of gold’ literally, of beautiful Andalucia. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, with our trainers -Nick and Doris – being trained at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, where we got to see an amazing show.

The traditional food was delicious. We stayed in the village of Carmona, where everything you touched was hundreds, if not thousands, of years old, a magnificent place. The hotel was absolutely lovely, a 4-star hotel in the heart of Carmona.

All in all, I would like to do it again next year!
