Looking for a riding holiday, either UK or elsewhere.
Budget probably less than £1000 per person all in.
It is for me, a novice rider, but also for a friend who cannot really ride (she is very confident, and has ridden a few times on holiday (including cantering/galloping across the plains in Africa 
) but has never had any proper tuition and does not actually know how to control a horse, although she is confident and seems to have good natural balance and co-ordination).
For this reason I want somewhere where she can learn to ride properly, in a safe environment, but can still have fun at the same time - I want somewhere that will let her have a go at cantering and not keep her in walk all week but I want her to actually learn something not just whizz about all week which in my view is dangerous given her complete lack of riding ability (which she is the first to acknowledge).
Thanks!
