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!

After a 10-year riding break, I made the decision to return to horseback riding at Monte Velho, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The fantastic location, delicious food, and the camaraderie of the group, along with personalized dressage lessons and trail rides for each rider, ensured that I had an exceptional stay!

Last August, thanks to Laure-Anne from Outside the Corral, I went on the African Explorer in South Africa and Botswana and in one word, it was FANTASTIC.

I had never been on a riding holiday alone before, let alone a horseback safari. Laure-Anne was always available to answer every question I had throughout the entire process. She took my concerns seriously and responded quickly every time. Without her enthusiasm and support, I would never have had this incredible experience. If you’re considering a horse riding holiday, I would recommend booking through Outside the Corral. Laure-Anne is not only highly professional but also personally involved, which allows you to enjoy the trip completely worry-free.

The African Explorer itself was everything she promised and so much more. The guides were warm, hospitable, and helpful; nothing was ever too much trouble. The accommodation and food were excellent. But the true highlights were the horses: sweet, well-behaved, and forward-going. They were clearly well trained, cared for, and in great condition. The African Explorer is truly a must-do for any riding enthusiast!

Laure-Anne, I cannot thank you enough. You gave me an unforgettable experience, and I’m already thinking about my next trip, which will definitely be booked through Outside the Corral!
