Introduction to Epona

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT EPONA

Max Rossler - Paris, France

My rate is not good but VERY good, one of the best places I ever been, the horses are superb, the dressage teacher excellent, and Fernando engrossing, it has been a great pleasure meeting him.

Roey Jenkins - London

This was the best holiday ever! Epona is a truly harmonious place. We were looked after in every possible way. A real 'escape'. I can't wait to go back.

Crewdson Family - France

Fernando, his family and entire team, horses and dogs included, makes for a wonderful, enlightening, tiring and amusing holiday. The quality of horses and tuition provided is outstanding and Fernando matches horses to his guest's riding ability with unfailing accuracy. The standard of safety surrounding the tuition and treks adapted specifically to the children is totally reassuring and highly commendable. We spent a wonderful week in beautiful surroundings with fantastic people and superb animals. Thank you.

Nicola Tilt - Canterbury, Kent

Fernando's organisation of the holiday was fantastic and the balance between trail riding, lessons and trips out was perfect. The teaching was of a very high quality and all the staff were really friendly. The food was great home cooking and hit the spot at the end of a days riding. But the best thing of all were the horses.

Sally Wassall - Romsey, Hampshire

I have had a fantastic time at Epona, it surpassed expectations. I was apprehensive as I was going on my own but there was no need to worry as everyone was so very friendly and included you in everything. I rode wonderful kind horses in the sunshine, couldnt have been better!

Adele Graham - Reading, Berkshire

We had a fantastic holiday at Epona - Fernando & Jane were great hosts and looked after us really well. Toni & Caty gave us excellent tuition and the horses were all wonderful - there were seven in our party & we all had horses we wanted to bring home! Thanks to Fernando the chef for the great food & wine. Lovely accommodation - a week was really too short. Can't wait to go back!

Katharine Quinlan - East Grinstead, Sussex

I had a wonderful time at Epona, it's a beautiful place and Fernando, his family and staff were so welcoming! As you know I was apprehensive about going alone but I really had a great time and my riding has improved so much. I had a wonderful time and cant wait to return to Epona. When can I send for Mr Bean and Rebero to join me in England!!?

Shari Mullen - Vermont, USA

I didn't want to leave Epona. The people and horses exceeded my expectations. I hold the Epona experience close to my heart.

Chris Bates - London

I had a fantastic holiday full of wonderful horses and people. The instructors at Epona taught me more about horses in a week than I had found out in years and the horses were fantastically patient. It's a fun holiday I would recommend to all.

Ruth Nelson - Co. Down, Northern Ireland

Epona is a wonderful place to stay. The horses are very well trained and Fernando's trail rides are pure heaven on earth. The lessons in the evening really help building confidence. Also a special mention to the chef Fernando whose cooking is of an exceptional standard. I've been to Epona twice and hope to return next year!!

Erica Smith - Hett, County Durham

Just to say thanks very much for organizing our holiday at Epona. And a big thanks to Fernando, Gabriella, Caty (and Fernando the chef, for his great food and bottomless lake of chilled red wine!). We all had a great time. Lovely hot weather, bril trail rides through exotic landscapes, Fernando's jokes (except the nudist beach wasn't a joke!), marvellously well schooled horses and the cutest dogs - I'm really missing Moncho, Danielson and Little spectacles!!

Heidi Skipworth - Sleaford, Lincolnshire

We've just returned from our wonderful week at Epona, and I just wanted to let you know what a truly lovely time we had. We all felt it was far too soon to be coming home and would dearly loved to have stayed another week! We met some super people, beautiful horses (of course), and the Garcia family and their staff made us feel so welcome. I am so grateful to both Fernando & Gabriella for their kindness and understanding....it's filled me with renewed determination to reward myself with another trip to Epona!
Thank you too, Anne, for making the bookings so straightforward and simple, and for all your help and advice.
