My friend Sarah & I returned last week from a week in the Axarquia Mountain Hideaway ride in Andalusia, Spain, and we had an absolute blast. We rode several horses each during our week there, gorgeous Andalusians mostly, and one Arab Cross who I fell in love with! The tack was all in excellent condition, the horses were well cared for and obviously loved. Super responsive and sure footed, well suited to their job on the rocky and steep mountain tracks we had some awesome canters on! We loved our rides to the village bars where we'd stop for a drink before riding back to the Finca. Donna and Steve were excellent hosts, Donna's stories were so entertaining! The food was incredible and the drinks kept flowing! We cooled off in the lovely pool after our well earned siesta in the afternoons. We were joined after a few days by some other guests who were great fun, and dinnertime was very enjoyable, like a house party! Our accommodation was delightfully quirky and rustic,we loved it, and it was great to be able to make a cup of tea when we woke. 5 lovely friendly dogs were the icing on the cake! Another winner from Far & Ride!

Far & Ride Ltd found Madre de Agua for us in Portugal. The perfect combination of dressage, hiking, wine tasting, eating farm-to-table (literally!), and being cared for like royalty! We could not have asked for more. Natalie, at Far & Ride was a gem to work with. She listened patiently to my various questions and requests, and was always super responsive to our needs. Any time I am looking for a horse related holiday, Far & Ride will be my “go to” source.

A very special experience I'll be remembering fondly for a long time to come. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great riding in a unique landscape over a few days. Accom and food were superb as well.

Danni was fabulous to deal with? I gave her a list of what I was looking for and she found me a horse riding destination I plan to visit every year? Krka Horse Trails is one not to be missed! Thank you Danni for reawakening my inner horse addict? will be booking again to go back to Krka again and again! God love them all?

Danni from Far & Ride Ltd. planned our horseback holiday. We loved everything about Castle Leslie, the grounds were so beautiful, the food was delicious and the horses were perfect. Thank you for making our once in a life time vacation so perfect!

Had an experience of a life time thanks to Far & Ride — from the bottom of my heart, if you’re looking to book a Horse Riding Trip, I can’t recommend Far & Ride enough!

In short, I’ve just returned from a spectacular experience in Costa Rica at Hacienda Sassenberg with the incredible hosts Heiko and Jazmin. Booking it through Far & Ride was such a blessing. From my very first inquiry and email, I truly felt so supported and guided by Natalie who gave me such good advice, local insights, quick responses and great suggestions regarding my trip to Costa Rica. Natalie was so helpful in getting me prepared, answering all my questions over email and phone, and ultimately getting me booked up and confirmed for the trip.

I also loved receiving the comprehensive preparation guide on what to think about, what to pack, how to make the most of the trip, cultural insights, etc. It made me feel very prepared and organised.

My experience at Hacienda Sassenberg with Heiko and Jazmin was truly spectacular. They’re the most wonderful, welcoming, fun, and interesting hosts and I was so thrilled to learn so much from them. Their hacienda is state of art when it comes to the guest house, their finca, the riding & stable area, the views — and the food served was truly delicious.

Throughout my week I got the chance to explore how to ride Western style, connect with all of their amazing horses & animals, try out so many local delicacies, visit countless different places in the area, ride 4X4, learn new language skills, experience Costa Rica's range of micro-climates, as well as meeting some of their wonderful friends. Truly, a magnificent week on all fronts.

Huge thanks to Far & Ride and Hacienda Sassenberg for this magical experience.

I’ve used Far and Ride a few times now and have found them to be efficient and professional yet always with a warm approach. You get the feel from their emails that they have listened to what you want and need. I have frequently emailed Natalie giving her rough dates with the requirement of ‘I would like to try something new’ and she has always delivered. Something that stands out if that they visit every location that they advertise so are well equipping to match person to ride. You won’t regret using them xx
