I had an absolutely incredible time with my daughter at Castle Leslie in Ireland. The accommodations were stunning, and we were treated to excellent guidance and fantastic horses. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or someone with little jumping experience, the cross-country riding at Castle Leslie is an exhilarating experience. Thank you to Laure-Anne and Outside the Corral for the great guidance and personal approach!

Very nice organisation! Laure-Anne thinks along with you very well and really takes the time to do so (which location will suit you best). The welfare of the horses is clearly her top priority, which immediately gives you a feeling of trust. I had a wonderful time in Portugal and can definitely recommend Outside the Coral!

What an unforgettable journey… Namibia is a place that will stay with me for a long time. Not just because of the landscapes or the adventure itself, but especially because of the way we were able to live alongside the horses: 24/7, like a close-knit herd. That brought a depth to the experience that I will never forget.

What did I take away from this ride? That horses thrive when they have a purpose, just like us. That it’s okay to let go and trust them to choose where to put their feet. And that when you truly start functioning as a “herd” within a group, you discover a strength and peace that can’t be forced.

The experience was raw, honest, sometimes challenging, but above all magical. It’s not the kind of adventure you can plan, it’s the kind you create and make possible, and that’s exactly what Outside the Corral enables. Thank you for making this adventure possible. I feel so grateful to have been part of it!

I heard about Outside the Corral through friends, and from my very first contact with Laure-Anne, I knew I wanted to choose this organisation for my first riding holiday. Her enthusiasm, combined with the clear and thorough information she provided, immediately inspired confidence.

For my first trip, I chose Costa Brava: Coast & Hinterland, and it was clear that Outside the Corral had prepared us extremely well. We received excellent information about every aspect of the holiday. Laure-Anne was always available both before and during the trip, which was very reassuring. Even after the holiday, she took the time to listen to our feedback.

My first experience with Outside the Corral was fantastic, and I would happily recommend it to anyone. When I book my next riding holiday, it will definitely be with this organisation!
