“Thank you to everyone at QPA for an amazing week last week – and a lovely ride this morning! We all knew I wouldn’t be able to stay away for too long ????!!! I can’t believe it has taken me so long to do a horsey holiday abroad – I have definitely got the bug though…! ☀️????❤️”

“A brilliant way to get immersed in the world of horses with very friendly people and stunning scenery. Everyone at the stables was very friendly and seemed to be happy to answer my million questions about horse care and riding. This was a really important part of making my holiday enjoyable and was especially appreciated as I was by myself. I really enjoyed it and it was exactly what I wanted from my first riding holiday.”

“This trail is a fantastic trip for those wanting to do a slightly shorter trek, enjoying stunning scenery, great food, lovely horses and generally speaking, plenty of sunshine!  It really was a fantastic five days, with great company and lots of fun.”

“The holiday was so good I bought my horse!  It was relaxed, informative, not challenging.  Jinny and all the girls were so incredibly helpful at all times, nothing was too much trouble. ”

“We had a fabulous time, the ride is really great.  Jinny is lovely, a proper horsewoman, and all of the girls working for her are really friendly.  They have a lovely atmosphere at her stables and all seem like a little community. Everyone came out with us for meals and we were introduced to the green wine which we all loved.  Deborah and Enriques place is beautiful in such a gorgeous location.  They introduced us to the Medronia – not to be repeated – with kareoke as a result!!  They are a lovely couple and very welcoming with amazing food.  The horses are so well cared for in a very English way with carrots and feed provided for them at lunchtime.  I rode Ruby who was brilliant every day.  The beach ride was great and the mountain tracks spectacular.  It was so relaxing, they had it so well organised that we did not have to think. It felt like anything could be arranged – my horse lost a shoe and the blacksmith came to the lunch-stop!  I came back completely refreshed and de-stressed.  Thanks for organising our trip and making it all run so smoothly.”
