Full on itinerary, great, never bored. | It was faster paced than most of the other trails I’ve done, I am glad I did this one. I loved the horse I was matched with & he was so responsive to the slightest touch. Felt completely safe on him. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Just be aware you need to be experienced to do this ride. Excursions were great change as well.

Couldn't have asked for better | It was outstanding; The combination of fast pace on well trained horses riding freely over stunning countryside was truly a treat.

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. | This mainly run business was very well organized and thought of in its itinerary. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. My horse was fit and responsive. The rides pushed me and I felt over the week I became a more confident and comfortable rider. There was loads of riding and it was fast paced, there was nothing boring about any of it. The day excursions were interesting and a nice mix in with the rides.I felt challenged on this ride which is exactly what I wanted. A good mix of ascents/descents and open plains.

Absolutely amazing riding! | The riding exceeded my expectations. This is the best trail ride I've ever done. The horses are perfectly trained and all the riders loved their horses. They are very forward going and extremely responsive. The pace of the riding is excellent. Lots of lovely long canters and often there is lots of space, you dont need to canter nose to tail. You pick your own line in the fields. The western style of riding is awesome as you never get tired, it's so comfy. The scenery is stunning! It changes everyday from pine forests to sunflower and corn fields to mountain views, then pretty villages. The family that looks after you all week are some of the most wonderful people I've ever met. I felt like i was part of the family while I was there. Super friendly and caring.

Beautiful countryside with lots of Canters! | Our rides were great! The wildflowers and countryside were beautiful. We loved the horses and how fit they were. We had lots of great canters and loved riding through the oat and sunflower fields.

Riding was one of the best I have ever had.

Mane-iac who has been on 9 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely Brilliant! | Far exceeded expectations - incredible how much land we had total open access too - varying terrain and awesome views. As the 8th In the Saddle holiday it was definitely the best for the riding and personally I do think it was far better than described in your information!!

Lesley who has been on 9 In The Saddle rides. Excellent hosts, horses and riding | The riding exceeded all our expectations .so much country to explore with no boundaries such lovely and varied views

Bulgaria - Our group's best riding holiday so far. who has been on 8 In The Saddle rides. Our best riding holiday with In The Saddle so far. | The riding terrain was varied with many breath taking views, not a gate or fence to negotiate. A brilliant ride.

Bulgaria Caves and Waterfalls | The horses were willing and well mannered. Some of the guests complained about the tack but I found my trail saddle comfortable and my horse rode well in his hackamore.

MARVELLOUS! If you are a capable rider who appreciates a beautiful wilderness country, fit, well-schooled horses with excellent comfortable tack then this is the place for you to do one of their weeks trails. The added bonus is the wonderful family and their lovely Monika who look after you in every way......clever, confident trail guiding, impressive historical and cultural knowledge, gorgeous local food and wines....the list goes on.......Get it booked! You won't regret it!

Everyone was so helpful at the horse farm. They were lovely people and couldn’t do enough for us. Our two guides were wonderful. The whole family was involved and we appreciated what they did to make our holiday enjoyable. Please pass on my thanks.

Magnificent | Exceeded all expectations..brilliant guides, fantastic horses..gloriously varied riding country

The best team looking after us | Maria Monica and Rossan were an exceptional team looking after us. Very professional fun and really fun to be with. All the horses were great, the picnics they provided were yummy. Places we stayed had brat mineral pools and swimming pools plus two very good massages. Thoroughly enjoyed the riding - I loved my horse Priam. Light mouthed, very comfortable, loved riding him and we passed through some amazing country.

Great! | The riding was in a beautiful area with stunning views. The service was terrific, Maria, Alexander and Monica are great and take very good care of their guests. I asked for and got the same horse as on our previous visit and was very happy with him again: forward going, sure footed and very comfortable. And a sweet horse as well. The horses get along very well too, so there is no kicking each other, overtaking each other, or anything like that. Would recommend this trip to other guests.
