I have used Far & Ride twice now, once for my Mongolian adventure and once for a Morocco trip. Both times I was well prepared for the trip by the staff, who made certain I knew what to expect ahead of time. They are always available to help out, even when you are on the trip. Both trips went really well and I will certainly be using Far & Ride again for my next trip. Holly knows my riding capabilities, and even advises me on better options if she thinks a trip will not be up to my level of riding or expectations. If you are planning an equestrian holiday, definitely use Far & Ride. They go one

Absolutely wonderful company! Have booked several trips through them and have always received the most professional and helpful service you could ask for. No question is too silly and one of the team is always more than happy to help! I cannot say enough good things or recommend Far and Ride highly enough

Natalie was so friendly, helpful and responsive to all of my questions leading up to my trip, gave me detailed information that helped me to be prepared, and continued to be supportive and helpful during the trip as well. As a first time international solo traveler this really helped to give me confidence in attempting such an adventure. I had an absolutely wonderful riding holiday and can't wait to book my next ride with Far and Ride!

We have booked four holidays with F&R and will be booking our next shortly. We have previously used other companies but F&R have been the best - informative and helpful, and very understanding during Covid. Excellent communication, Cannot recommend highly enough

I would highly recommend Far and Ride's services. I booked a horse riding holiday amidst ever-changing COVID restrictions and the personalised service I received from Holly in particular was brilliant. I was fortunate enough to go on the holiday as planned to Portugal in May 2021 and had the best time - the holiday was definitely as described but far exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be a returning customer in the future.

Have used Far and Ride several times over the last few years for our annual riding trips.
Their customer service is second to none, Holly and Cathy have been amazing accommodating our questions and needs including the past year where we have had to move holidays. I am so thankful to have found a small independent company that is friendly and very professional

I have booked 4 riding holidays with Far and Ride and each one has been incredible. Holly’s recommendations have all been brilliant and tailored to my preferences and skill level. The riding establishments are thoroughly vetted prior to being offered by Far and Ride and the communication between rider, establishment, and booking agent has been seamless. I wouldn’t dream of booking a riding holiday through anyone else and am truly grateful for all of the wonderful experiences Far and Ride has facilitated.

I've travelled several times with far and ride, also twice with Holly personally. I can honestly not find anything even resembling to constructive criticism to think of, and i am pretty critical and like control, so that's saying a lot ;) Would not travel with any other company! As a personal anecdote I can share one holiday where I ended up being… the only participant. I was a bit reluctant going as a women alone into the middle of nowhere on horseback with an unknown male guide. However not only was Holly very understanding, even offering to look for alternatives or cancelling, but she

Had an amazing time at Flowerhill in 2018!! The whole team at F&R were so helpful and really put us at ease. We had booked to go again in 2019 but I injured my knee, again no issue for Holly and the gang they… let us keep the holiday in credit and postpone for the next year. COVID scuppered our plans for 2020 and 2021... Here’s to 2022 and hopefully our trip to Flowerhill, I can’t wait!! 5* for Far and Ride, highly recommend!

This company is the best I have found for riding holidays abroad. Nothing is too much trouble, its like dealing with friends. If you have any questions you will get a TRUE answer either straight away or within a couple of days. I have been away with them 13 times. Bosnia 8 Croatia 3 France 1 and Spain 1.All the holidays have been just as it says on the web site or better. I would have been going away again last year but Covid19 stopped that. I will be going again with them as soon as it is safe to travel. I cant recommend them enough

Cathy and Holly went above and beyond to help me during Covid 19. Two trips were booked and then changed last minute due to going off the travel corridor list. They were extremely helpful and I ended up… switching to an absolutely amazing trip to Wales only a few days before going. Very helpful, kind and supportive. They also have a great insight of the trips as they have been on them personally and could tell me all about them and which one would suit me. Contact them and I am sure they will find the perfect riding holiday for you.

I've taken three trips through Far and Ride, one in Spain and two in France, and I have only wonderful things to say about the F&R team and the horse riding facilities they partner with! They work with only the best, and each trip I've taken I was met with incredible horses, hosts, guides, accommodation and food! The team is very helpful and accommodating and has helped my and my riding buddy secure trips even during off season! Thank you Holly and Georgie for all your help! Can't wait to for my next trip!
