‘We loved our holiday in Montana and my two friends and I were made to feel very welcome from the start. Our cabins were very nice and well appointed. The food was excellent and everyone was catered for, including those with dietary requirements. At every meal we had so many choices and everything was presented beautifully. It was nice to see different nationalities among our fellow riders – English, American and another Aussie girl. The guides were very knowledgeable, attentive and safety conscious, and made sure everyone was happy with their horse. I was lucky to ride a paint called Tia and I loved her. Not only was she very pretty, but she had a sweet nature, was forward, very responsive and loved cantering. I had her for the whole trip – lucky me! Riding in the hills and exploring the countryside was excellent and we had some opportunities to gallop across the plains. The best day for me was the all-day ride when we took our lunch in saddle bags and all of us, including the horses, were driven to another part of the property. We then set off from this location and explored the spectacular countryside – it was a fabulous day. It was great riding at the ranch and also good to ride with other like-minded people who love horses. I thoroughly recommend this ride.’
