Really enjoyed our holiday. Found hosts attentive, relaxed - nothing too much trouble. Agnes was always smiling! Horses were charismatic, honest, fit and forward going! Enjoyed flexibility of being able to swap between several horses. Forest paths and beaches were exceptional riding country and outstanding beauty. Enjoyed the unexpected and informative tour of the bunker. I felt that the hosts really valued us as guests. I liked the clear routine of the day whilst still making it feel relaxed. Picnics were well thought out - especially enjoyed the hot tea and the hammocks. I liked that there weren't too many rules! We hadn't realised we were in the middle of nowhere in such a special setting, in a lovely log cabin, with trails which only horse riders were allowed - I think you should emphasize thsi more in your advertising as it is special. Really enjoyed trying all Latvian dishes created by the lovely Diana - very creative and interesting and fresh. Clearly a lady with a passion for food. A very relaxing holiday. Beautiful canters along the beach, in the sea and in the forest. Would definitely consider coming again for the trail. Also really appreciated that we had 2 causes for celebration during the holiday (birthday + good news) and they made a special birthday breakfast and dinner. Thank you for a brilliant week.

What a fantastic holiday! The horses were exceptional - each had its own personality (particularly lovely Adru) and they were so fit and well cared for and friendly. The riding was excellent, particularly the shady woodland paths and the beach canters on the lovely white sand. It was also great to get a taste of Latvian culture with visits to the bunkers etc. The food was delicious and it was great to get to try traditional Latvian dishes cooked by the lovely Diana. We also enjoyed staying in a log cabin - accommodation was very cosy and comfortable. Hopefully we will get the chance to come back again and do the trail ride!

I have completely enjoyed this holiday. there is nothing I can improve on. I've loved every moment. I obviously expected to enjoy the holiday, but the hospitality shown by Richard + his family has been second to none. Agnes has helped us so much + is obviously very caring of the horses. the guides were both absolutely brilliant. Because we had Alex for longer, we got to know him better + he told us lots of interesting facts about the area. He also tacked up for us!!! The best days in my opinion were the days that were very mixed, forest and sea!! We loved the day that we spent some time in the native reserve where humans on their own are not allowed!! Not horse related, we really appreciated being taken to see the bunkers. That was such a good thing for us to do + to hear of the history of the area from locals was brilliant. The noises were magnificent. The stars of the show. Perfect trail horses. We also really appreciated the rain gear!

I have had a wonderful week riding in Latvia. The guides were very knowledgeable and were very adept at keeping us safe. The food every day was excellent, varied, local dishes and nothing was too much trouble for cook Diana who went above and beyond making extra dishes/cakes/provisions for a birthday celebration. The horses whilst forward going were very safe and easy to control and the ability to swap between horses each day was there. I would recommend this holiday to a small groups of riders travelling together rather than individuals, just based on the accommodation arrangements and evening meals set up. I love the fact that the propheters took time and consideration to take us on visits to see places of historical interest, ie bunkers etc and took their evening meal with us as a family. I would recommend this holiday to intermediate riders who are reasonably fit as there is a lot of trot and canter work in order to cover the distance - all of which is wonderful but a capable novice who has only ridden in a school or short hacks would struggle. For me I would prefer to be allocated a horse for a day, based on the forms completed on my riding ability just to gain a confidence that I have been matched accordingly. Other than that this holiday has by far exeeded my expectations and there are many points not covered on the Far+Ride website that are huge selling points for this experience. Thank you! Please give Arabeska and Velma lots of love.

We spent an unforgettable week on horseback in Slitere. This place is made for riding, you feel like in paradise! The beautiful nature and landscape, the perfect trails, the excellent organization. The lonely beach. Horses are treated very well. Very friendly hosts. :) The team of Adventure Ride is doing an extraordinary job, everything is done to please the clients. Thank you all for these wonderful holidays!

Here I had the best horse rides of my life. I wish everybody can have a holiday like this at least once in a lifetime.

Very good week, with a very nice fine riding group and a nice guide. Good trained horses. Maybe its possible to give more alternative to the fish at picknick. Very thankful of all the pictures you done all the time.

It was a fantastic week with a lot of fun. Our little group with only experienced riders was great because we could do many things like fast canters and swimming with the horses. Also the horses are great, very calm and experienced but with a lot of power and endurance. Our guide was very friendly and asked after every canter if it was nice for us. The emty beaches and beautiful forests were wonderful to ride. So in conclusion: I am happy and thankful for the nice week.

Beautiful sceneries, very good horses, excellent atmosphere, great opportunieties for canters on the beach and swimming in the sea, not to mention the care and love for sharing informations about the country from the owner, Richard, and the guide.

Gorgeous vacation! So much to discover in your beautiful country! See you soon again :)

Real adventures in really green corner of Europe. Horses, nature, people, food and everything was perfect! Great organisation Richard!

Fantastic and very well trained horses, amazing trails, friendly people, gorgeous nature and perfect guides. WOW! That was so good!

Gorgeous week on the beach in silence of nature and authentic insights into real Liiv fisherman villages. Thank you very much for you personal attention!

Empfehlenswert :)

Latvia is a beautiful place for horse riding. The forests, the untouched nature and endless beaches in Slitere national park are a wonderful place to relax after a stressful everyday life. The people are very friendly and take care. The food is very delicious. I would recommend to all my friends to go to Latvia. The guide of the group is an excellent rider and leader. He knows a lot about riding and he can tell history of the Leevs. I like the most the nature and beach in the area of the trail, meet new, very friendly and polite people, making new riding experiences, the food, the accomodation, the beach. All in all it`s a very special place and I had a very good time.

Obiously I like riding the most, but everything was excellent. Host, food, guide, everything was very, very good. I want to thank you for a great week. I did not expect the riding to be so advanced, particularly for my level. But everyone was extremely accommodating. Thank you again, Tim O`Neill

I am sorry I have not replied sooner, but you can be sure that I will be back for another trail next summer. Maybe Gauja forests? It was really difficult to get back to work after such a wonderful holiday. That was such an amazing experience with adventureride. I still cannot realize that so amazing wide sunny beaches with white sands can lie tens of km without any human being even in september. The nature was just amazing and your program was well prepared and very interesting. The trail, the guide, the horses and you were absolutely marvelous. Thank you for the beautiful photos. I have placed two of them on my desk and I am looking at them every day. Best wishes to Liva and Lady. I am still galloping with Lady through the rivers in my dreams! :)

I have made 12 trails before, but I never had such a nice welcome, such a nice stay and such a good organisation. The people are so nice, my horse is so nice, the places they show me are so impressive and the additional informations of culture and nature are really great.

This adventure has been a marvelous experience. Everything - from the home-like guesthouse to the team, to the horses and the trails was just great, and after a good day's riding we got to visit some unforgetable places. The Irbene Radiotelescope was certainly a highlight. The young horses are surely in a good condition and excelently prepared for a trail ride. They are responsive, calm, with good endurance and will never let you down. The beaches and trails are wonderful to explore on horseback. Not being an experienced rider, I really enjoyed the long rides, the company, of course, including our guide Aleksis. I have learned quite a bit about horses and riding and cherish every moment of this much too short adventure. So I certainly recommend to try it for yourself and am looking forward to some other adventure, later in time!

AMAZING!! Some of the best views you can find in Europe are here; all the while you are saddled up on a horse and on your way for a ride. We went on the 6 days horseback riding trip & it was great! We caught sight of beautiful Latvia, empty whitesand beaches, wild paths in forests with deer, many rabbits and foxes. Accomodation just hundred meters from the sea was superb and food as well even for vegetarians. Thanks to Richard and Liva warm welcome. It's actually pretty exciting route!

Es war ein sehr, sehr schöner und erholsamer Urlaub für uns. Die Unterbringung und eure Pferde Mars und Gabriella wie immer top. Ich werde ganz bestimmt wieder kommen. Ganz liebe Grüße!

We had wonderful four days here. The organization of this tour was truly impressive and the weather conditions also supported us a lot. It is incredible how diverse is the nature of Baltic States – moors, forests, meadowsand dunes. Clean, comfortable and relaxing accomodations at the end of riding days . Highlight! Several gallops on the windy and wavy beach at Koshrags with Gabriella and Lady carrying us over the wet sand. Many thanks!!!

The horses are well-trained for any age or size rider. My family and I recently did a five days ride with AdventureRide in Latvia. Our guide was very professional and gave us clear instructions before we started, and continued to help us out on the trail. The weather was perfect, warm with a slight breeze. Our horses were beautiful, all shiny and obviously well fed! I can't think of enough great things to say about the horses and people at AdventureRide. They made this a truly memorable experience and I would love to come back and explore more of the Baltic States.
