We went to Portugal and what a super cool trip it was! Very sweet people, beautiful surroundings and well cared for well behaved horses. Laure-Anne made sure that everything was well organized. Very nice to go on a trip like that and nice that she checks how it was afterwards. Highly recommended for every horse lover!

I absolutely loved my trip to Monte Velho! The setting is incredible and the accomodation is outstanding. The horses were amazing. Very well cared for and in great condition. The stables, arenas and land are all immaculately kept. Doing a mix of dressage lessons and trail rides was great. Having never ridden in a dressage saddle, or ridden a classically trained dressage horse before visiting Monte Velho, I was a little nervous about my first lesson. However there was no need to be, and I felt very comfortable. I learnt a lot from my lessons, with tips that I was able to bring back home to improve my riding on my own horse. All of the horses are so well trained, and it really makes you ask for things correctly to get the right response! The trail rides were such fun, and the grounds are just incredible. The staff were fabulous. All so friendly and attentive. The food was great too. I would highly recommend booking through Outside the Corral. Laure-Anne is so attentive and easy to deal with. The booking process was so easy, and I felt at ease that everything was well handled. Laure-Anne was always very quick to respond to any queries and questions. Thank you Laure-Anne for organizing such a perfect trip. It definitely won’t be my last booking through Outside the Corral!
