2011

The host said, once you’ve been to Horizon, you have sand in your shoes. It seems that my shoes were very very very big. I’m already planning my next visit!
BR of Altenkrempe, Germany

We were both very well looked after by all...!
LC of Wimbourne

I had the most amazing holiday, everyone and everything was fantastic! Our guide was great, he tried to make sure that everyone's needs were met.
KJ of London

Excellent holiday - couldn't fault a thing!
LS of Scunthorpe

I’ve never been made to feel so welcome or had such a good laugh on holiday before. At the same time safety was obviously paramount but done in such a way that we all felt completely confident in our mounts & ride leader.
NW of Nantwich

Farrouk is possibly the best horse I've ever ridden- like a Ferrari :-) Fast and responsive.
GO of Dublin

I work professionally in equine welfare, and am one of the fussiest welfare fault-finders you will ever find.  These horses were fit. Tack was comfortable and safe, in very good condition.  I asked for a forward going horse with character and that is exactly what I got. She was responsive to ride, picked up every pace as soon as asked and was an utter joy for the whole 6 days.
DB of Stockport

Top-notch horses, beautifully schooled and a big step up from our regular rides!  Their ability and willingness really helped us to learn.
PM of London

The horses were a pleasure to ride, very fit and willing to go but easy to handle. It was wonderful to see that they are very well cared for, too!
JS of VA, USA

It is obvious the hosts love their horses and love what they do.  Jeff is the ultimate gentleman and a fountain of knowledge on the area, the horses and the people.  Donna cooks the most amazing food and they are all very friendly and approachable, nothing was too much trouble.
WW of Swadlincote

The holiday was even better than we had expected. Accurately described in the brochure/website, Penny and her staff were so helpful and flexible and did everything they could to ensure we all enjoyed every aspect of our trip, going above and beyond what most people would!
CH of Bicester

Unusually in the holiday sector, the description of the holiday was extremely accurate
CW of Edinburgh

My best holiday ever. Perfect hosts!
AL of London

Perfect weather, the best food ever, rides from heaven...what more can you ask for!
MM of Parys, South Africa

The service Unicorn gave was friendly, efficient and truthful.
MB of Guernsey

Thanks Unicorn guys! I've always found you lovely and have always had a great time with your trips!
SL of Lissarda, Co Cork

Unicorn always give a quick and friendly response, and are really knowledgeable about the trips.
LB of PA, USA

Unicorn Trails staff seem to visit the riding places often enough to know if the places are still good.
EF of Copenhagen

We have been with Unicorn now on 3 occasions. We have been very happy with the holidays - they have been excellent and are all part of important memories for me and my husband. …… We were very grateful for this help and the flexibility and attitude we met …. This is the stuff that creates customer loyalty :-).
GR of Canvey Island

Both Debbie and Laura who accompanied us on our rides were absolutely fantastic - really friendly, helpful, safety conscious and made every ride 100% enjoyable.
CH of Bicester

Simon was the perfect trail leader. He was friendly, helpful and language skills were impressive. He always made time to answer questions or deal with translations. He also loved horses which was obvious by the way he cared for them every step of the way.
BS of Larbert, Sterlingshire

Being a lone female traveller I was nervous about travelling and wasn't sure what to expect.  I was met by my guide at the airport and from this moment forward I had the time of my life.  I felt safe in the company of the guides and I was never left on my own.
HS of Dumfries

They really pride themselves on looking after both horses and tack well. The horses were extremely well looked after, well fed and good natured.
DH of Cambridge

I would definitely recommend Unicorn trails. Very friendly and fast responses.
EM of Lund, Sweden

Really was amazing, never know horses could climb rocks swim rivers and canter that fast.
HM of Rotterdam

Great holiday - nothing to complain about at all. Such a good host, charismatic and very much a one-off.  We are going back with him next year.
CG of Saltash, Cornwall

It was a pleasure to come across such a well loved and cared for herd of horses, all of whom adored human company and wanted hugs from everybody. 
RW of Dublin

We had a translator on the trip since English knowledge of tour leader was limited.
SD of Zurich

I found unicorn staff very helpful and it has has a great selection of rides on offer.
AS of Brighton

There were 3 guides all of whom were excellent, we got very close to the game and learnt a lot about the animals, local area and people and the flora and fauna.
Danni at Unicorn Trails knew her stuff and sent us to just the right place: relaxed, luxurious and plenty to do.
EN of London

Most of our friends would love this holiday. Planning to return for another as we loved it so much.
TQ of Wolverhampton

Forward going and sure footed horses regardless of the terrain. Superb riding tour leader who understands everybody's abilities and wants to make the rides fun yet safe.
KF of Camberley, Surrey

Friendly staff right from the beginning, helped me with all my enquiries, honest information given about each holiday. Good beginner rides.

I have and would recommend Unicorn Trails. You basically "know your stuff", are efficient and very user friendly. You have a very broad range of holidays for all abilities and price brackets.
JW of Kettering

I couldn't have wished for better service from Unicorn!
JE of Gillingham

The staff at Unicorn trails were friendly, knowledgeable and professional and it was nice that they even sent an email a few days prior to the holiday to check if I had any questions.
MN of Hertford

Any queries were dealt with punctually and efficiently. No problems at all.
AF of Huntingdon

I've now done 3 rides with Unicorn and I'm impressed at the very high standards that you consistently maintain. I now trust that the horses will be of excellent quality and everything will be well-organised.
SB of London

On the whole the holiday delivered what it said on the can!
LH of Ipswich.

Unicorn holidays are what keep me sane! I ride the most brilliant horses in the most exotic locations and make great friends around the world.
CW of London

I had a fabulous time and would recommend anyone looking for adventure to try it.
EP of Andover

Would definitely recommend Unicorn Trails to anyone. Their staff are fantastic to deal with and truly care about the riders themselves. I dealt with a lady called Leah Collingwood who was brilliant, she was really concerned about me due to the Icelandic volcano.
SL of Worcester

The quality of the service, horses and overall riding experience was a lot better than some other rides I have been on, particularly one in France with Far and Ride.

JE of Pewsey

Felt we could trust you to organise and sort everything out, which you did, and had the confidence of a company behind us, if anything went wrong, - had your phone number on us, to use if needed, so never felt "alone".
BB of Ross-shire

Very good personal service & advice throughout.

Individual approach to clients and professional knowledge.

Very well organised trips. This is my third trip and they just get better!

It was a fantastic holiday that exceeded all my expectations both in service and the ride itself.
JC of Leeds

You can guarantee that what is explained in the write up-that is what you get. The service we receive from the staff is great-any questions they are happy to help.
TH of Bryncoch

We wanted relaxed riding on nice amenable horses through lovely countryside staying in comfortable surroundings and with lovely food, - which is exactly what we got.
JI of Claxton

It was just as described....lots of opportunities for trot and canter and some rough ground but the horses were incredibly responsive and well behaved and anyone comfortable at the three paces would be fine on this ride.
EB of Poland

I'm a fairly novice rider and at no point did I feel scared of the pace or terrain. The climbs although steep were not unmanageable and I always felt like the horses were capable which filled me with confidence. The pace was good with many canters.
FS of Milton Keynes

I was worried about the ride being too advanced for me, but actually it was pitched just right, with as many canters and gallops as the terrain allowed, but no out-of-control racing, as has happened on other rides. I never felt that any ride was too long.
AM of London

It was challenging enough so the longer mornings did not become boring but not challenging enough to be stressful.
LM of Edinburgh

Lots of fast riding, but ample time to relax on horseback and take in the surroundings.
N H-W of Liverpool

The horses were very well trained and the staff concerned to make everything as safe as possible.  A lot of walking and thrilling canters/gallops on the beaches.
JD of Kent

It was not difficult riding, lots of trotting, cantering and a few gallops, but nothing exceptionally demanding. All in all pretty near perfect!
MH of Bury St Edmunds

You covered a lot of different terrain which was lovely as we got to see farmland, woodland and the beach. There were some hills both up and down, and some rocky paths, so you needed to be careful, plus when it was wet some paths were slippery.
FG of Brentford

Unicorn Trails is a well-managed equine travel organisation that prioritises horse welfare and offers a diverse range of riding holiday experiences around the world. The staff members are always friendly and professional to deal with and respond to queries promptly and thoroughly. TH of NSW

Unicorn Trails were reputable, great to deal with, and the ride reviews were particularly invaluable.
AKZ of NSW

2009

Good recommendations and detailed advice on several rides we considered
PM of London  

Words can't describe how amazing I thought our holiday was.  The riding was out of this world - every day was different, the pace suited how we felt, the scenery was probably the most beautiful in the whole of the world. We rode to lots of different place
SG of London

The staff and their care and concern for the horses could not be faulted.
JH of Woodbridge

Horses were very well matched to rider ability, healthy and willing to work.
RJ of Belbroughton

Had enormous fun on a superb little bundle of bounce but everyone was well matched so those who wanted something calmer got it.  All horses were super fit and clearly loved their job.
AB of  Brussels

This was an awesome trip. Unicorn always come up with outstanding adventure trips right off the beaten track. I had no idea this would be so good. If you are going to go to Ethiopia I totally recommend the extension.
DC of New Jersey

The horses were the most well-mannered and likable bunch I've come across in a long time. There was no biting or kicking between themselves even though we rode closely together in a group of 9.
LT of Langford

Horses were, without exception, fantastic. My horse was one of the best I have ever ridden!
DW of London

It was a superb holiday that can be recommended to novices and the experienced rider.

Was really valuable talking to someone who had actually been there.
AB of Brussels

Everything was exactly as described and as shown in the pictures if not better!
EF of Uckfield

I was very pleased with the flexible approach, structured enough to make a schedule and varied enough to cater for both myself and my friend, of very mixed abilities. They were very patient with me as the least capable one of the party…..
SR of Co. Wexford

I honestly couldn't fault it if I tried! 
SS of Lewes

The organisation of the holiday from my initial enquiry, the helpfulness of Unicorn Trails staff throughout, and the holiday venue were all excellent.   The horses were lovely - even better than we had expected!
ET of Alloa
