Amazing!

This was my first experience with a fully organized riding trip and it was extremely positive! Communication with our hosts from the planning to the execution stages of the trip was always easy, clear, and helpful. The hosts Federico and Joao were simply fantastic human beings who made every day a pleasure, even when we were tired, it was early, and the caffeine had yet to kick in! The trip itself included a few days of watching the World Championship of Working Equitation which was astounding, and then incredible lessons and trail rides in the south of Spain. I loved how well taken care of we were by Joao and the people who were hired to teach us and ride with us in Spain. The Yeguada El Almendrillo was better than we could have dreamt. Incredible horses, incredible instruction, with a homey atmosphere that made us feel we were part of the family. Overall the trip was very well curated, with great options for meals and so many options for excursions and ways to get to and from the hotel from airports and train stations. Thrilled with this company and look forward to more!
