the english riding centre in lourdas is a definate for any one interested in horse riding on holiday. i spent two weeks at the centre, and enjoyed every minute of it. They cater for both beginners and experienced riders and the trek provides vistors with excellent views and a relaxing morning or evening ride. Alison provides exceptional love and care for both the horses and other animals around the stables and When i return to kelfalonia alison and Roy are first on my list.    

Had a really good morning ride out from Alisons riding stables at Lourdata/Lourdas, the horses are lovely, very well schooled and the tack and equipment is all safe and in good condition. The ride out doesn't involve galloping about at high speeds as the terrain wouldn't allow for it so I would recommend it for novices and experienced riders. Myself and my friend were both put on large horses one 17.1h and the other 15.2h+ that could easily carry us (as I find it awful when you get put on a tiny pony if you are a normal sized adult). I would recommend to book direct with Alison as both of you will do better out of it that way. I was happy to give my money to Alison, although the stables are a professional setup there was lots of rescued animals that were of no obvious benefit to the place financially (cats and horses alike) and I was glad to think our money would help make that possible. Alison, Jenny and Clemie (her two staff) are lovely people and our ride out was the highlight of our holiday.
