Best: Northumbria Horse Holidays. Had sooooo much fun on wonderful horses riding through amazing scenery with lovely people!
Worst: Won't name them or I'll get in trouble: But this was a trekking centre in Somerset. Lead horse kept rearing and the escort kept smacking him on the head with a whip 'to make him think he's hit his head'.
Then one horse kicked another horse and severed an artery. Escort went white and sat down and did nothing. Me and the other customers had to get under the horse to apply direct pressure and try and control the bleeding, while someone else went for help....
It was a residential holiday. That evening I went to see the rearing horse and he had loads of saddle sores.
