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 would have probably visited Argentina, but the unforgettable experience and memory for me lies in the place where OTC, Laure-Anne, took me. An intimate and family farm hidden in the vast Argentine pampas, which exudes grandeur through its unique hospitality, combined with a gastronomic exploration of the local cuisine. The warm and homely feeling experienced over days is reflected in the care for the horses. This makes the trip more than just a trip, it creates a memory imbued with countless wonderful stories. I highly recommend this location and Laure-Anne’s guidance.

From our very first meeting with Outside the Corral, we felt confident with Laure-Anne. She enthusiastically shared details about the various rides, assessed our expectations and skill level. Shortly after, we received a well-thought-out proposal with several appealing destinations. Choosing proved challenging for us, as all options looked fantastic—sorry for the delay, Laure-Anne :-). Ultimately, we settled on the “Castles of the Gredos” ride in Spain—a tranquil and beautiful journey on delightful horses. Despite some days with long hours in the saddle, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It’s a form of slow travel, allowing us to set aside the “must-do” list for a week and savor moments on horseback in the stunning natural surroundings. Leading up to the departure, Laure-Anne remained highly engaged, and we truly felt well-informed—perhaps the most informed among our travel group. Thank you, Laure-Anne!
