I recently had the most extraordinary riding holiday that surpassed all expectations. The journey from Petra to Wadi Rum offered breathtaking scenery, providing an unparalleled sense of freedom in the expansive desert landscapes. I’m incredibly glad that I came across an article about Outside the Corral in Feeling, followed Laure-Anne’s wonderful Instagram page, scheduled a virtual coffee, and eventually booked this ride, which, in my opinion, ranks among the best in the world! Laure-Anne added a special touch to the experience; she was incredibly responsive, enthusiastically helped me with all my questions, and even provided several locations where I could get fit for the ride. Her guidance truly made the entire experience even more magical. Now, I’m left wondering whether to book one or two riding vacations with her next time!

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.

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!

Personal tailormade advice resulted in a super holiday with my 12 year old daughter. Both enjoyed it immensely and returned home with many beautiful memories! Super nice location and horses. Learned a lot and variety with trails made it very nice. Thank you LaureAnne, it was a trip we will remember for a long time
