Hi - Just read your message and checked out the site on Pantanel ride. It looks like you will enjoy it. UnfortunatelyI cannot go on any vacations until after January, but I would very much like to learn of your experiences when you take your ride. I would appreciate your letting me know if the ride was all that is advertised and especially any negative experiences you may have had.
I definitely will be riding SOMEWHERE with Hiddentrails starting in March or April of 2009. And I will be looking for a riding buddy. So, your input will really help me to decide where I might like to go. I have been looking at Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica and Africa. I would like to ride in water with the horse (ocean, river, stream) and climb mountains with the horse and see animals up close and personal. I have been riding for about 20 years but only on weekends. I consider myself an intermediate rider who loves to canter and trot but hates to trail ride head to tail.
Have fun and please keep in touch with your experience.
