This trip was incredible from start to finish, if you are questioning whether to book it on not, here is your sign! Ivan, Liza and their daughters made me feel comfortable and welcome right from the start, I was a little nervous getting there on my own but Liza was very responsive to all my questions on whatsapp which was great.
The horses are all beautifully trained and looked after and clearly very happy, making them a delight to ride. Ivan was completely in tune with all of his horses whilst being very relaxed, he even let us pick which horse we would like to ride each day. The rides were unbelievable, I loved crossing the rivers and riding through the forests, the horses are all very sure-footed so you feel very safe and the scenery was breathtaking from every angle.
However, this was so much more than just a riding holiday. The location is stunning and peaceful, just on the edge of the national park (I would recommend swimming in the lake). Liza and Ivan have a beautiful home full of homemade and handmade food, crockery, apple juice, chopping boards and the list goes on. The food was incredible, Liza somehow predicting exactly what we wanted after hours in the saddle. Liza also came into town with us to translate and help us buy some local clothing, and even invited a couple of my friends who happened to be in the area round for dinner.
Wonderful horses, beautiful place, lovely family. I 100% recommend
Thank you :)
