Enjoyed the most: The scenery and the devotion of the teachers. Watching the lessons was as much fun as taking them.

Bothered you: None

Enjoyed the most: other riders & meal time

Bothered you: horses did not seem to be of a high caliper

Enjoyed the most: The landscape, the accommodation, the hosts (personally and as riding teachers), the horses, the meals, the international and charming atmosphere - everything!

Bothered you: That I could not stay longer - but I will come again!

I enjoyed everybody who was there the week I was there, the FOOD! is unbelievably delicious, the host and hostess and their family - they really do make you feel like you are a welcome guest - the environment is perfect for relaxation and for having terrific conversations over the most wonderful meals. I believe that I have made friends who I will keep in touch with for a very long time. I will also recommend the wine tasting trail ride. The winemaker is a very generous and knowledgeable person and it is a wonderful experience.

You have to pay for lunch and water/soda when not served during the meals - admittedly, it's a great deal as the lunches are awesome, but I would have preferred to have just paid one price that included everything.

I really enjoyed myself here - the hostess (Cristina) is a wonderful person who I am so happy to have met. I was a little disappointed by the level of dressage training - the write up on the tour description made it sound like it was more advanced dressage. But as I said to Cristina, you learn something from every horse you ride.

I couldn't limit myself to one aspect. It met all our criteria. My parents went with me on faith due to my previous trip to Germany and are now avid Hidden Trails non-rider enthusiasts.

Nothing really bothered me although I have learnt that every riding school has its own style and they believe their style is the right way. I learn what I can from all of them and accept that they sometimes contradict each other.

I'm recommending you all the time and hope you continue in the horse business:)

We had a lovely time in Tuscany - such a beautiful place. My mother broke her foot there and the management and staff were wonderful. They bent over backwards to help. I can't believe how hard they all work. I spoke to as many of the other riders as I could about Hidden Trails (surprisingly none of them had heard of you but were all keen to explore the service in the future) We are busily planning our next holiday with Hidden Trails on the agenda. The standard was very much the same in Tuscany as in Germany and I recommend them both for the avid rider and for their non-riding companions. Keep up the great work:)
