Our riding holiday to Monte Velho Equo Resort with Outside the Coral was absolutely fantastic. Everything was perfectly organised – the hotel, the lessons, the horses – but what truly made the experience special was the care and attention Laure-Anne gave to every single detail. This is not a traditional travel agency. Instead, it’s all about personal, thoughtful and genuinely warm guidance. We booked our trip well in advance and were kept regularly informed with updates and additional information in the months leading up to our departure. We received a detailed itinerary, practical tips, and even a handwritten card in the post shortly before we left. The day before departure, we received a lovely email wishing us a great trip. These may seem like small gestures, but they make a world of difference.

We usually have some concerns when booking horse riding holidays: What are the horses like? Are they well treated? Unfortunately, we’ve had disappointing experiences in the past. What immediately reassured us was knowing that Laure-Anne personally visits every location she offers. She knows exactly where she is sending her guests, and that confidence is instantly reassuring. The horses were clearly well cared for, received proper attention, and were treated with genuine respect. The lessons were professional and adapted to each rider’s level, with excellent instruction in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. And the hotel? Beautifully set in nature, peaceful, well maintained — and the foals roaming around were the perfect finishing touch. We will definitely book with Outside the Coral again. The entire experience was so personal and so well organised that it’s hard to put into words.

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 booked a very nice trip to Jordan through Outside the Corral. The horses, guide and nature were phenomenal. During the booking, I had a nice contact with Laure–Anne, where questions were answered very quickly and completely.

Fantastic follow-up and service to find the perfect holiday! Fast, to the point, friendly and everything was top notch! I had a fantastic trip that I will never forget!
