We had the most amazing review from a rider that joined us this November! Thank you Lara!!

“It was an amazing tour! Not only the combination of riding and non-riding days but also the combination of the different locations depict a perfect mixture which gave us a good insight not only into the nature of completely different parts of Sri Lanka but also into the cultural heritage, religion and sights which cannot be experienced on horseback. So, besides experiencing nature together with the horse, we were also able to cover a broad variety of other activities such as a jeep safari in a national park, a boat trip, a tuk tuk ride, visits of spice and botanical gardens, diverse temples and other religious sights, museums, historical ruins, a monk school, a fascinating dance show… The programme was multifaceted and thanks to our fantastic driver and guides who were always on time and eager to give us a good understanding of Sri Lanka, unforgettable.

You could easily notice that our driver, our riding guide and all the grooms without exception did love their jobs and that for them the most important thing was to fulfill all our wishes and to give us the best holiday possible. I am very thankful that they shared their broad knowledge about Sri Lanka, its people, history and nature with us. It was great to see their close connection to the horses of which they took amazingly good care. On the same time they took such good care of us guests as well – perfect balance.

The so well-looked after horses were much fun to ride. They all had a very good character, were curious, intelligent, very responsive and full of energy. They all were in very good condition as well as the saddles and bridles.

The ways and paths which we were riding on were very well-chosen and passed by beautiful areas such as lakes, stunning beaches, temples, ruins in the middle of the jungle, authentic villages and a lot of other non-touristic places. I would not want to miss one single hour of riding! It was wonderful of the guys that they took a lot of pictures of our riding group which they burnt for us on a DVD afterwards – great memory.

For me, experiencing Sri Lanka this way was very special and I enjoyed every minute of it due to the great staff in the hotels, restaurants and of course our driver and the horse staff. We met so many lovely people, enjoyed the breath-taking sceneries, the always delicious food, all the sightseeing and of course the fantastic horses. Thank you all so much!”
