Horse Riding in Mallorca by Victoria, 26 Oct 2019

An equestrian adventure in Mallorca

An exciting - and at times challenging for us - beautiful three day ride in the Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca. Lorenzo and Mareike were great people to spend time and their horses were exceptional. We really loved that the horses were ridden without bits, were forward going, brave, sure-footed as mountain goats and with the kindest of temperaments. We were very well looked after and my daughter's confidence had soared by the end of the trip...

I wanted an equestrian adventure with my 13 year old daughter and discussed at length with Equestrian Escapes the sort of experience that we were after. Everyone on the Equestrian Escapes team were really helpful, answering my questions on the phone and email with patience and consideration.

This is a great ride and a challenge! Well done, especially your daughter at such a young age you must be very proud.

Cheshire riding break

We booked a two night riding break at Willington Hall and Willington Hall riding centre. The hotel was excellent - very friendly and food tasty, especially breakfast. The riding school was right next door and looked after us both. My partner had only ridden once before and was well taken care for. The instruction was fab. I learnt so much and was given so much confidence to take home!

Fantastic Week of Riding!

I had morning lessons and afternoon hacks which were incredible! I rode in a amazing horse called Scrumpy/noddles. We played fun games on our spare times and we all got along really well. The dinners were five starts! The staff were really friendly and warm hearted and welcoming. We will definitely come back next time.

Excellent customer service. They are so friendly and engaging and made us feel as if we knew the place already. We had no doubt that we would have a fabulous time. Booking the camp riding holiday was so easy and without hassle.

Ahh thank you - we are so pleased you enjoyed your Kids Riding Camp in the Lakes - and nice that your mum had a few nights stay as well - next time we will have to persuade her to try riding too!

Incomparable!

It felt like a home away from home! The warm welcome from Louise put us instantly at ease and Anna's patience and kindness to two older, out of shape ladies, on three hour rides was appreciated. Truly, everyone we encountered was wonderful. The rooms, the views, the rides out, the food, beautiful horses - I've run out of superlatives! And where else can you get lovely goodbye hugs?

Weekend horse riding break at Willington Hall, Cheshire

I have just returned from an fantastic break in the most beautiful country house hotel in Cheshire booked through Equestrian Escapes. It was everything a country hotel should. The food was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. The stables were right next door and the horses were superb. Well schooled and forward but eager to look after me. I rode Red, Charlie, Maddy and Penny and they were all fantastic as was Chris the instructor, who ...

The horses beautiful Andausian's are well balanced, calm and very well behaved. They are extremely well cared for by their owner Klaartje and her two stable girls Charlotte and Gin. Riding on the beach and in the mountains so relaxing. All abilities of riders are catered for and our 2 horses which we rode were amazing. You don't need to take your own riding hats or boots as they are all provided at the stables. I would highly recommend Equestrian escapes to help you book onto this wonderful riding experience. Thank you and we are looking forward to our next adventure with you xx

Equestrian escapes provided riding information and also information regarding the hotel and area of Spain. They informed the riding stables in Spain when we would be arriving and when i called them upon our arrival they were expecting us. All the information which was sent to us prior to our trip was clear and well planned.

Equestrian Escapes; exceptional service and experience!

My son and I were in England for a couple of World Cup 2019 cricket matches and wanted to do some cross-country riding in the gap period. Sarah and Chessy were fantastic in understanding that we wanted to do long canters and were interested in outdoor landscapes.
