A perfect day. Liz is an amazing teacher! We were all novices with two small children. She explained everything in such a fun child like way which made the children confident and happy. It's not just the riding that was fab, it was the whole experience from preparing the horses, feeding and seeing all of the beautiful views. Liz, her... More

Been out on a trek today with Liz and it was the best experience I've had riding so far, beautiful horses along with beautiful scenery made the perfect day. With the dogs in tow as well it was truly a memorable day. I will definitely be back sooner rather than later (maybe to pinch all her dogs too :) Thanks... More

I booked a riding lesson for myself and my partner for her birthday, I had never been on a horse and it was 30years since my partner had. Liz was so understanding and got us aclimatised by letting us brush to horses and showed us how to fit the reins, sadle etc and then we were off. Liz walked in... More

Whilst working in Ilora, we had the fortune to have a day visiting the Sierra Pelada Horse Riding School. What a great place with fantastic hosts, Liz and John. I am at best a novice rider, but was made to feel completely at ease. Liz and John have a knack of making everyone welcome and finding the perfect horse for... More

What an amazing experience The horses were wonderful. Responsive, agile and calm; definitely not your usual riding school nature All the camping equipment was... More

For a novice rider who hadn't ridden in decades, and a teenage non rider, this was a fantastic experience. The horses were amazing, so gentle but each with their own character (thank you Luna and Cannella); the scenery and wildlife were stunning (mountains, valleys, buzzards and even an eagle); the teacher (Liz) understanding of our nerves, patient, and having the...

This trip was amazing! I learnt so much from just a week of riding!! Thanks so much to Liz for teching me so much and for letting me gallop for the first time!! It was very memorable and will stay with me forever. Thank you Liz More

I went for a ride into the mountains after having a very bad horse riding accident and felt totally confident with Liz. She is such a lovely woman and clearly loves horses. Often at riding schools there is not such a great relationship with the horses. liz does voice commands rather than using whips. They completely understand her directions and... More
