Excellent Guide Company! - We had the most wonderful day because of this company! Our driver, Youssef, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We greatly enjoyed his company and talking about music, life, and culture. Stopping at the women's co-op was a memorable and meaningful part of our day. I loved meeting and learning from them. Our horses were perfectly chosen for us based on the information | provided (my and my husband's respective experience levels, height, and weight). These horses (and the stables) are cared for expertly. The horse trainer (our guide) was experienced, gentle, and took real joy from being with the horses. The horses clearly trusted and liked him - and so did we! Beyond that, the views of the Atlas Mountains and surrounding valleys were breathtaking. We loved our ride and absolutely would go again!

Beautiful riding experience - We chose to do this experience because we were fascinated by the idea of being able to ride horses in a picturesque landscape like that of the Atlas Mountains and I must say that our expectations were fully repaid. Everything was perfect, starting from our driver Youssef, very punctual and who knew immediately how to make us feel at ease talking amiably and with excellent English on various topics. The visit to the Berber village and the Argan oil processing cooperative was perhaps the least exciting, but still interesting part. The highlight was, of course, the horse ride: greeted by a very helpful guide, we could immediately get to know the horses that had been assigned to us and do some test drives in the enclosure. My girlfriend had experience in riding, but for me it was the first time: despite this I received from the guide all the information and useful tips to have a great experience. The walk took place along a path that was sometimes challenging and therefore never boring, surrounded by the peculiar landscape of this place. At the end of the experience, finally, we were dropped off at the pick-up point on time and we were able to continue our day.

Horse riding in the Atlas mountains. - Collected on time from our hotel, even though it was not on the list of pickups in private air-conditioned car. Our driver Youssef was very friendly, his English was fantastic. He stopped off on route to get us cold bottled water. On arrival at the stables we were greated by friendly, knowledgeable staff. We were asked about our riding experience and our horses allocated based on that. We were then fitted with hats and my husband provided with chaps, as he was wearing shorts. My husband, who is only confident trotting was given a calm gelding and I had a lovely stallion called Niram. We trekked out for 2 1/2 hours across the Atlas mountains not seeing another sole, until we passed through the Berber villages. We were greeted and waved at by everyone we saw. The strength of these people as they rebuild after the 2023 earthquake is astounding. The terrain made the ride interesting and challenging. We had opportunities to trotting when my husband felt secure and I had a couple of lovely fast canters. The weather, although hot, was tolerable in the mountains. We had saddlebags for our phones and water. On our return to the stables, the horses were immediately taken care of, untacked and cooled down and given a well earned drink and rest. We declined the offer of breakfast on our journey home. This was an experience that we would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Great Neigh! 😂 - What a great day. Sold a 2 and half hr horse ride and got it. Day started off at 9 drove into the mountains and stopped at a Berber house for breakfast (not needed but all these experiences have a bit off this involved) then a short ride further and arrived at the stables. Only had 3 reviews to go on, which were all last year, but the photos made everything look amazing. Booked it on that but was a little worried as the carriage horse in Marrakesh aren’t exactly well looked after ….. but on arrival nothing to fear. I think there were six or seven horses there, when we were there, all healthy clearly well looked after etc etc. Got saddled up….helmets, back protection, chaps all provided. And rode off into the outback and it was amazing! I did think that the 2 and a half hrs might have included the breakfast but no no no we were out solidly for 2 and half hours trekking up the mountains for some great snaps. Must have covered 6 to 7 miles. All I’ll say is take extra water (bring it from the hotel)… which we did. There is water provided but only a small bottle and not enough for a long horse ride. There is the option for an 1hr ride, I think, but I think you’ll be left wanting more. Do it!

Must do horse riding Trek with breathtaking scenery - Horse riding was fab, we are both beginners and as we were the only 2 on the tour we got the guides full attention, Ibrahim was very helpful and keen to teach us. Helmets , back and leg protectors were all provided. Scenery was breathtaking and there were plenty of photo opportunities. We got a full 2.5 hours of riding which was enough for us as beginners, Would definitely recommend this trip and we will hopefully return again soon

Awesome horse riding trip into the Atlas Mountains - highly recommend! - Awesome horse riding trip up in the Atlas Mountains. We were picked up by Youssef from our hotel and whisked into the mountains in about an hour. En route we stopped off at a women’s cooperative, which supports divorced and disabled women who are unable to get work in the city, which was lovely. Once we got to the stables, we quickly put our gear on and Ibrahim took us off into the mountains on two very well looked after horses for a 2-hour hack. Would highly recommend!

Horse riding through the Atlas mountains. An equestrian adventure - This was the absolute highlight of the holiday. The horses were well cared for and happy and were picked individually for us dependent upon our riding ability. We rode for 20km through the mountains and had access to the most stunning views. We had the opportunity to walk, trot and canter which was really exhilarating. This trip was really good value for money.
