Excellent organisation, great horses and stunning landscape - After the first ride we decided to have another one during the same week! We had a wonderful experience, everything was well organised, the horses are trained and easy to steer and we were led through places of unrivalled beauty. Highly recommended!

Breathtakingly beautiful - This excursion was a lot of fun. We are not experienced in riding so it was a bit exciting beforehand. But the instructions are clear, the material is fine. The horses are very well cared for. The ride was breathtaking and intensive with a well-groomed break. Overall a very nice experience richer!
