I cannot personally recommend Outside the Corral more for your next horseback riding adventure. Laure-Anne was so incredibly kind and helpful in planning every step of the trip, making me feel confident that I was about to have one of the best holidays of my life, which I did! I personally did the castle estate ride in Ireland and she facilitated all of the booking providing me with a perfectly detailed itinerary that made everything so simple and stress free. I would without a doubt book through her again for my next riding trip and highly recommend her services for anyone looking for their next horseback riding adventure! I truly can not thank her enough!

My riding holiday, Castles of Gredos, in Spain was an unforgettable experience. Beautiful surroundings and well-trained and cared-for horses. Everything was organised to perfection, both leading up to and during the trip. Laure-Anne was always ready to help with all my questions. For booking a riding holiday, you are in the best hands with OTC. I will definitely book with her again.

From the very first moment I contacted Outside the Corral, Laure-Anne provided excellent guidance and advice. She took the time to explain the pros and cons of different trips, always taking my experience and expectations into account. After booking my first horse riding holiday in Iceland, I quickly realised how much I loved exploring a country on horseback, immersed in nature and far from the hustle and bustle.

Over the years, I’ve grown more confident in my riding skills and have had the privilege of exploring Iceland, the Costa Brava, South Africa, Botswana, and most recently, Jordan. Each trip has been a truly unique and breathtaking experience.

Laure-Anne has been there every step of the way, providing detailed yet concise information and always being available to answer any question. Her personal approach, dedication, and passion for horses are remarkable, and they’ve already inspired me to start planning my next adventure!

I absolutely loved my trip to Monte Velho! The setting is incredible and the accomodation is outstanding. The horses were amazing. Very well cared for and in great condition. The stables, arenas and land are all immaculately kept. Doing a mix of dressage lessons and trail rides was great. Having never ridden in a dressage saddle, or ridden a classically trained dressage horse before visiting Monte Velho, I was a little nervous about my first lesson. However there was no need to be, and I felt very comfortable. I learnt a lot from my lessons, with tips that I was able to bring back home to improve my riding on my own horse. All of the horses are so well trained, and it really makes you ask for things correctly to get the right response! The trail rides were such fun, and the grounds are just incredible. The staff were fabulous. All so friendly and attentive. The food was great too. I would highly recommend booking through Outside the Corral. Laure-Anne is so attentive and easy to deal with. The booking process was so easy, and I felt at ease that everything was well handled. Laure-Anne was always very quick to respond to any queries and questions. Thank you Laure-Anne for organizing such a perfect trip. It definitely won’t be my last booking through Outside the Corral!
