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!

We were looking to go on a horse riding holiday (3 experienced riders) and Outside the Corral helped us pick the Tuli Safari in Botswana – it was an amazing, unique experience! Great sightings, very knowledgeable guides, good horses that were very well looked after, incredible camps, and not to forget the great service and food. Outside the Corral gave us a detailed itinerary with packing tips and for whatever questions we had left, they would reply immediately. If you’re looking for an incredible travel experience, I would 100% recommend booking 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!

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!
