Booked a riding holiday to Slovenia with Outside the Corral, couldn’t be happier! Booking was a breeze, everything was very clearly explained in the detailed program. Communication was timely, fast and thoughtful. The program even had some nice extras, like a checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything before leaving. The riding experience was above my expectations. The horses were very well cared for and the guides were super nice and knowledgable. I will definitely book again.

Wow wow wow! I have no more words to say how fantastic I thought my trip in Portugal was: the location, the horses, the group, the instructors, the rooms, the food, the rides. Wow! Also very satisfied with the preparation of the trip: clear emails, being able to let all control go, good communication. I’m already thinking about another riding holiday with Outside the Corral!

I had an excellent riding experience in Iceland. Laure-Anne was highly engaged in planning my trip and provided valuable information beforehand. When I received the itinerary, my expectations were already high, but the actual experience exceeded them. Eldhestar, the partner in Iceland, organized everything perfectly. The horses were in great condition, a crucial factor for me, and displayed energy beyond my expectations. In summary, it was a top-notch experience!
