I travelled to Ireland as a non-rider and fully enjoyed the trip! The preparation went very smoothly, everything was prepared down to the last detail. Laure-Anne’s enthusiasm made me very excited for departure. I am still reminiscing on the beautiful room, the friendly service, the delicious food and the tranquillity of nature during my walks.

I’ve just returned from my second amazing riding holiday in Portugal! Both times, everything was perfectly organised by Laure-Anne. She communicates clearly and promptly, is always available to answer questions, and pays great attention to every detail. It was an incredible experience, and when I plan my next trip like this, I will definitely book through Laure-Anne again. Highly recommended!

The Best of South-West Iceland was my first ever riding holiday, and it turned out to be a dream vacation. The stunning natural scenery, the fantastic horses—everything was impeccably arranged! I simply had to relish the experience. Without a doubt, I’ll be booking my next riding vacation with OTC again. Now, the only decision is which trip to choose. A heartfelt thank you to Laure-Anne for providing this unforgettable experience!

I have just returned from a really wonderful riding holiday, a horseback safari – organised by Outside the Corral with Zambian Horseback Safaris – in Zambia. I cannot recommend too highly this company. The horses were fabulous: fast and fit but well schooled and a delight to handle. Never crazy or alarming. Laure Anne has an acute eye for the details that make a holiday truly enjoyable and pays attention to them all, and to her guests. So everyone is happy. Really a joyous and life affirming adventure and I am already dreaming of the next ride that I can book with Outside the Corral.
