‘All I can say is WOW! I booked this trip almost a year ago and have been hyping it up in my mind for months, and let me tell you—it lives up to the hype! I haven’t ridden frequently in over 10 years and really didn’t know how much I would be able to do. Turns out, a lot! This ride is perfect for anyone who wants to get back in the saddle. I went from hesitantly cantering on arrival day to confidently jumping mini courses in the arena in just 2 days! Then, I finished the week doing pretty large 4-5 jump cross-country combos! The instructors are all amazing, encouraging, and fun to be around, as are the other riders! And don’t get me started on the horses. They’re all so well-trained and confident, but trust me, you’ll still end up with favourites (I’m looking at you, Robin). As a solo traveller, I was nervous about doing something like this alone. Well, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. The alone time is peaceful, but you spend enough time in the saddle with other people to make friends. It’s the perfect mixture of “vacation relaxation” and “outdoorsy fun.” Decidedly, the best vacation I’ve ever given myself! If you’ve been considering this ride, DO IT!’
