Testimonials – Horse Riding Andalucía

We all know the Internet is a medium of exaggeration, sometimes also cheating with fake testimonials written for sites by fake reviewers. A friend of Wolfgang’s found himself in the book of a hotel on the Costa del Sol, praising the place with words so ‘over the top’ he would have been embarrassed if he had written it, which he had not.

Granada Trekking Tours also wanted to have a guest´s book. So Wolfgang asked some clients, that were on recent treks, to give a short few words about their experiences, so here are some comments from past “tour takers”. Maybe soon your comments will be among these, so please contact us for more details on Granada Trekking Tours.

When we came to Wolf the first time we had almost no horse riding experience, but with him as a guide and teacher we spent a great week!

We were doing tours from 3 hours to whole days. We truly loved our time on horseback in the quiet mountains or passing the countryside along the lake, eating our picnic at beautiful spots.

We found the horses reliable and loved the humour and the hospitality of our hosts, above all, Maike’s breakfast. Do not hesitate, Go!!

We still remember our stay in March 2013 very well.

We enjoyed everything: horse riding, hiking, historical information and the bath in the hot springs of Alhama, even the rain and the cold evenings in front of the fireplace with a book.

About 2 years ago we discovered, almost accidentally, this very nice place for horse riding. We do highly recommend it to any horse and nature loving person. The owners, Maike and Wolfgang, like to live a simple life, close to nature and their horses. The horses are very friendly, calm, well kept and lovely to ride.

Wolf discussed with us the level and duration of the tours. you can choose between 2 hours, half a day or almost the whole day, including picnic lunch. All tours are very beautiful and have fabulous sightings. The guest house has all the facilities you need. Breakfast can be ordered and lunch or dinner are gorgeous.

So far we have been 6 times in 2 years and hope to go again this autumn. Thank you Maike and Wolf for having us.

I was riding with Maike and Wolf twice, first in spring 2014, with my daughter and granddaughter, then in spring 2015 again, with my wife (non rider).

The second time we did 9 days in succession, the shortest tour 5 hours. My horse (Pastora) was so well ridden and the Spanish saddle so comfortable, even for a man my age (80) it was pure pleasure.

This may sound unbelievable, but anybody who has doubts (or wants to know more) is welcome to contact me by email: a.preuss@posteo.de.

By the way, my granddaughter, Rabea, 17, rode the brown gelding, Max, a horse full of spirit and fire. She wanted to take him home with her right away.

We spent only some August hours with Wolf, his friendly partner and their beautiful and friendly horses. It was such an adventure for me and my two boys, aged 10 and 15, and me. Being so far away from it all, surrounded by nature was magical. Wolf lead my youngest son´s horse which was very reassuring – for all of us.

No riding hats are provided, but the trek is done at walking pace and the horses are sure footed. In addition the cost is very reasonable.

I met Maike and Wolf doing a 50 days hiking tour in Southern Spain. They invited me and we spent a day riding in the mountains.

I have horses myself and I know what a well ridden horse is like. They gave me “Perla” and she is an extraordinary good horse.
