What do others say?

I discovered Outside the Corral at the horse expo in Flanders Expo Ghent, and I am thrilled that I came across this agency! The exceptionally beautiful website caught my attention, and I fell in love with the trip in Portugal. Laure-Anne assured me that it’s suitable for novice riders and solo travelers, providing the reassurance I needed. Despite encountering various health-related challenges before leaving, Laure-Anne guided, assisted, and supported me every step of the way. I have never experienced such outstanding service and never felt so at ease with someone I didn’t know before. The trip itself surpassed all expectations—it was unpredictable and fantastically good! I cherished every moment of it.

We had an unforgettable holiday in Slovenia, all thanks to Laure-Anne. Every detail was perfectly arranged, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The horses were exceptional: well cared for, calm, and a pleasure to ride. The surroundings were absolutely breathtaking, and everything related to both meals and accommodation was impeccably organised. Marco was a wonderful host, and our guide, Maya, was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the trail, making the experience even more special. We will definitely book another riding holiday with Outside the Corral.

In 2025, Outside the Corral gave me the most out-of-the-box riding holiday I could ever have imagined! I had my heart set on another horseback safari, but unfortunately the price was a bit beyond my budget this year. That’s when Laure-Anne suggested several tailor-made alternatives that were just as extraordinary and ones I would never have thought of myself.

So, at the beginning of June, my best friend and I headed to Iceland for a seven-day horseback trek alongside a herd of free-roaming horses. It was unbelievably beautiful, fun, and completely unique. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, you might think? Absolutely not! I’ll definitely be back for more, because Outside the Corral takes you to the most breathtaking places, with the most wonderful horses and the best company.

From choosing the destination to booking everything exactly the way you want it, from preparing and packing for the trip to the debriefing afterwards, the entire process is smooth, enjoyable and completely stress-free. Thank you, Laure-Anne, for making Iceland such an unforgettable experience for us. I’m already looking forward to many more adventures with Outside the Corral!

I heard about Outside the Corral. From the first contact with LaureAnne, I was immediately convinced that I wanted to choose this organization for my first equestrian holiday. LaureAnnes enthusiasm and the clearly obtained information was topnotch. For my first holiday I chose Costa Brava: Coast & Hinterland and of all the participants I had the feeling that we were best informed about everything through Outside the Corral. LaureAnne was also always available, both before the trip and during, which was very reassuring for me. Even after the trip, time was taken to listen to the feedback. My first experience with Outside the Corral was fantastic and I can recommend it to everyone. When I book my next equestrian holiday, it will be with this organization anyway!
