The whole morning was so well organised. It was so good to have an English speaking guide , especially one who was both knowledgeable and very pleasant. You got a really thorough idea of the workings of the place . The demonstration was really entertaining and our 2 granddaughters were spellbound. Excellent value for money. Ample parking. The complementary drink was a welcome bonus!

For anyone even vaguely interested in horses this is a must do activity. The whole experience was excellent from the moment you arrive. The initial tour was very professional and full of interesting information and the show that followed was spectacular. A wonderful experience all round.

This was the highlight of my weeks holiday. I expected to love it as I adore horses but even my husband agreed it was our best day out. The place is a little way out but I would tell everyone not to be put off by this. We went in a taxi and they phoned one for us at the end of the show. It lasts 2 hours and is just fabulous,all of it,with hands on horses to the show itself. The staff were lovely and the English guide,Viv was excellent. The only sad thing is I will probably never go again but I will never forget that day and the beautiful horses.
