‘As someone who greatly appreciates a lesson-based, confidence boosting itinerary, I am ashamed that I waited years in my Globetrotting journey to complete this ride! I came with absolutely no expectations, and it was a great introduction to Spain and the Andalusian region. The itinerary was beautifully balanced between saddle and lounge time at the equestrian centre, and personal time in Carmona. My instructor Doris balanced each day amazingly between learning new movements, working on technique, and providing exercises to continue working on at home. I could write a novel about my appreciation for my lesson horse, Terero! This is a perfect departure for anyone looking to return to the saddle, transition to English tack, build confidence or improve technique.’

‘I had the time of my life and absolutely loved the Dressage in Spain ride, for the second time! Some of the riding experiences were like a dream come true; I learnt so much to take home and left feeling happy and empowered. I rode Lucero – so amazing! Highly trained but spirited, so I had to ride properly. He gave me some unforgettable experiences that I have never had before. Such a lovely balance in the way he carried himself and beautiful as well. I nearly had to pinch myself to see if it was real! I couldn’t stop smiling – trying the changes and passage, and on the last day, we did Spanish walk, which was so cool! Thank you to all the staff and coaches for an amazing time!’

‘I did the five day intensive training ride, intensive being the operative word. It was testing, challenging and wonderful. The food was home cooked, fresh and authentically Spanish, but the biggest honour was being able to ride the Andalusian horses. They are highly trained and sensitive, and so much can be learnt from them. If you are just starting in dressage like me, I would really recommend doing this ride.’
