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!

The Best of South-West Iceland was my first ever riding holiday, and it turned out to be a dream vacation. The stunning natural scenery, the fantastic horses—everything was impeccably arranged! I simply had to relish the experience. Without a doubt, I’ll be booking my next riding vacation with OTC again. Now, the only decision is which trip to choose. A heartfelt thank you to Laure-Anne for providing this unforgettable experience!

So much enjoyed together with my daughter in Ireland, castle Leslie. Nice accommodation, super good guidance and ditto horses. The crosscountry is also a real experience for the more experienced rider with or without jumping experience! Outside the Corral (LaureAnn) thank you for the great guidance and the personal approach!
