Memorable parts? Beautiful countryside and a rustic, authentic venue. The horses were well trained and well cared for. Tips? It is good for singles as there are other people around and you are not on your own. There is limited time to do your own thing. Local benefits? The local village seems involved in the centre and employs locals. Overall rating? Great riding vacation, stress free in a beautiful setting. (more)Andrea Tubb

On the day that we rode to the reindeer people, we went up, and down, a mountain covered with the most delicate pine trees, and the forest floor was carpeted with flowers...It was like being in Fairyland. (more)Sally Frohlich

Memorable parts? It is difficult to select the most memorable part of the trip, it was just such an amazing and unforgettable experience overall. It started with a postponed project resulting in unexpected time on my hands, a growing desire to undertake a riding adventure and a well-timed airline marketing email featuring Montenegro, a destination that had previously not been on my radar. I put the three things together, started a search and found Responsible Travel. You had a trip that... (more)Diana Henry

I would rate it "best ever"! We had the chance to ride beautiful and reliable Marwari horses, the Indian guides traveling with us were amazing, we were served delicious Indian food and slept in stunning locations. (more)Giulia Lazzarini

Every minute was memorable and exciting! The horses, the views, the people, the food - all lovely. (more)Jane Fox

I loved every moment of it. It felt really special and actually quite an achievement to be part of something like a transhumance, which is steeped in so much tradition. (more)Kate Moore

Most memorable was perhaps climbing to what seems like the top of the world on horseback, arriving at a mountain refuge in a cloud and then realizing the stupendous view in the morning. (more)Hester Wilcox

A fantastic place which lived up to my expectations. (more)Katherine Amos

Excellent. This is a fine place to stay! With lovely people and surroundings. The best parts were riding in unknown rural France with horses up country tracks and beneath trees in occasional woodland. Meeting other riders and brushing up my French whilst the instructor brushed up my riding skills! (more)Liz Beaven

Memorable parts? All of my vacation was exciting to first boarding the flight to Ullaanbaatar and arriving via Moscow into the land of Ghenkis Khann - that's what brought me here, so much history Tips? This trip is for the ultimate adventurer - camping in the wild with great people looking after you. Research carefully if it's what you really want - I'm two months off my 70th birthday and i loved it but I'm a tom boy and it's what I always wanted. Zavkhaan will look after you well. Local... (more)Anne Connors

Memorable parts? Excellent throughout. We rode (mainly tolting and walking, but some cantering once the guide was certain of our riding ability) across varied terrain, which was wonderful, and each tried out several different ponies, selecting our favourite for riding on the last day. Our final day's riding ended with a magnificent gallop along a deserted beach, after crossing estuarine waters. Tips? Be honest about your riding ability. Don't pretend to be more experienced than... (more)Annette Musker

I met many pigs! I initially fed them scraps and then planned a departing banquet for them. I went to Romania to ride horses but am obsessed with pigs! (more)Claire Taylor

I enjoyed my vacation. I travelled on my own and was part of a very friendly group. The horses were lovely, the food excellent and the setting fantastically beautiful and unspoilt. (more)Lorna Newbrook
