I had an amazing time. The horses were the best!! The food was so delicious and cooks were amazing. The guides were so sweet and shared so many great stories. I will be back. Probably in a few years. I want to try out some other amazing places. 🐎☺️

Hi Rebecca, so glad you had a great time! Obviously, we agree that Colorado and the Vail Valley especially is a very special place, since it's also the home base for Equescapes, and the Vail to Aspen trip is truly a great way to enjoy it.

Hi Maria, lovely to hear that you had a wonderful time. This was my first riding trip in Iceland as well, and it inspired a love for the country, people, and of course, the amazing Icelandic horses. Thank you for your review and we look forward to your next adventure with us!

Dreamy holiday! Greatly appreciated Adrienne’s guidance and support. She was so patient and communicative, as we planned our first trip after having a baby. She really elevated things to the next level and we were so grateful! Kiley and everything at the Sandy Bay ranch were equally perfect. Incredible people, horses, and countryside and we really appreciated the flexibility to ensure we caught the best weather. Truly hope we return someday soon! It all felt like a dream and would book again in a heartbeat! Mahalo ❣️
