What do others say?

Just back from a week at Monte Velho (Portugal). It was a flawless trip and top service by Laure-Anne, thank you. An incredible and unique experience in a beautiful infrastructure and breathtaking environment. The instructors are all professional and very passionate, you are welcomed by a heartwarming family, and really a place full of history. A great riding holiday to remember!

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!

Very nice organisation! Laure-Anne thinks along with you very well and really takes the time to do so (which location will suit you best). The welfare of the horses is clearly her top priority, which immediately gives you a feeling of trust. I had a wonderful time in Portugal and can definitely recommend Outside the Coral!

Our ride with Outside the Corral was a unique experience. From the beginning to the end, everything was perfectly arranged and the personal contact really made the difference. The estancia was breathtaking – the nature, the horses, the dogs, the cows, the people, the food and the atmosphere were complete. We also felt immediately welcome! The ride was well prepared and thanks to the careful planning we were able to fully enjoy ourselves without any worries. I highly recommend Outside the Corral to anyone who wants to make an unforgettable holiday on horseback. I will definitely book again!
