At Equestrian Escapes we pride ourselves on our ability to offer truly tailor made holidays. The majority of the holidays that you will find on our website are comletely unique to us. We specialise in finding excellent riding stables and then combining top class riding with a choice of accommodation up to 5 star (where available). We are tour operators and not travel agents and can therefore offer you flexible programmes to suit your busy life style.
Here is what a customer who travelled with us in January 2011 had to say:
I was handed the task of booking an “unforgettable equestrian vacation” for my boss and his wife for her 45th birthday. As I am not a travel agent, I sceptically researched a number of different companies on-line, and ultimately decided to book with Equestrian Escapes; and I couldn’t have made a better decision! Equestrian Escapes custom-made exclusive getaway was easy to book as they took care of every single detail, and more importantly for me, my boss and his wife had the most amazing and unforgettable time! I would strongly encourage anyone looking to book an equestrian vacation to put your trust in this company, as they are organized, trustworthy and simply exceptional at what they do.

This is the perfect combination for a short break in luxury plus a tailor made riding programme for the most discerning of customer.
