“We had a wonderful experience, Leni and his colleagues are fantastic, they give clear instructions are attentive and patient with each member of the activity. My wife was an absolute beginner and a little scared at the beginning but they paired her with the right horse (Freddie) and she was very soon at ease and very happy. The timing of the ride was perfect we saw a beautiful sunset and the food and wine at the end was great, they catered for us vegetarians with no problem at all .”
