WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PINETREES

 

Tracy Badham - London

Thank you for a wonderful holiday at Pinetrees, Bev and her staff made us feel very welcome and the standard of accommodation and food was superb. With a mixture of tuition and trail riding Pinetrees really did tick all the boxes, and I certainly feel my seat has approved. Bev really focussed you on the overall picture of riding and gave some valuable on the ground tuition on rein contact, plus lessons on grooming and tacking up.

Deirdre Hanley - Watford, Hertfordshire

Enjoyed my stay at Pinetrees, Bev and the staff were great and taught me a great deal about riding and looking after horses...the hacking was wonderful, missing your great weather, the ponies, horses (Mara) and the three dogs..

Veron Mahon - Dublin

Brid and I are back from Pinetrees, having had a wonderful time. Bev is just lovely and looked after us so well. She made us feel welcome in her home at all times and we totally relaxed for the 6 days. We were on horses within an hour of getting there and received lots of expert tuition over our time there. We certainly plan a return trip and will recommend the holiday to friends. Thank you for your help in the planning.

Kathleen Beesley - Lisbon

We were made to feel very welcome by Beverley and her team. We had a wonderful time and my daughter cried when we had to leave.

Clare Woodall - Blackheath, London

I had a really great time at Pinetrees and learnt a lot from the experience.

Sophia Saleem - Huddersfield, Yorkshire

I as a rider and my mum and son as non riders, all had a great time at Pinetrees. Everyone is friendly, and we were made to feel really welcome. Fab food, fantastic folk, happy, healthy horses that are a pleasure to ride, and tuition second to none! Highly recommend this holiday and I will return.

Sarah-Jane Lovesey - Walton-on-Thames, Surrey

Many thanks for a fanatstic week at Pinetrees - Bev is a brilliant teacher - she knows exactly the areas you need to work on and is always encouraging and patient. The horses are all well schooled and generous natured and a pleasure to ride. The week was a good mix of lessons and hacking (fantastic countryside) and it was great to be able to have the flexibilty to choose each day what you wanted to focus on. I cannot recommend Pinetrees highly enough and I will certainly be visiting again this year.

Kate Pether-Smith - Fife, Scotland

It was fab brilliant couldn't ask for anything better horses food everything. Tuition was of a very high standard I understand things much better

Heidi Acton - Somerset

Beverley's tuition was the best I have ever had and helped my riding enormously. We had a fantastic week and were really made to feel a part of the family the whole time - the whole team could not have done more to make our holiday a great one. I will certainly be back!

Anita Teistelä - Oxfordshire

Bev Gibbons is an outstanding teacher! She makes you feel comfortable, confident and pinpoints the exact areas one needs to address in order to improve one's riding overall. She is also a very nice and relaxed hostess and it was a pleasure to stay at her place.

Vanessa Attié - London

I just wanted to write and let you know what a wonderful time I had in Portugal at Pinetrees. A wonderful week. Great riding tuition and superb hospitality. The only problem now is that I need to find a riding school just outside London to put into practice what I have learnt at Pinetrees!

Hyunju Yang - Tokyo

"This was a very special week for me, Bev I think I got more interested in your story and cooking than horses. I am blissful that I can picture you, Joey, and Lena whenever I hear Portugal or horseriding. I look forward to having my first jump with you in this or next life."

Louisa Davies - Wiltshire

" Many thanks for a brilliant week at Pinetrees.The mixture of lessons and hacking was just right and thoroughly enjoyable. I will always remember the new aid to canter "chin up and smile!" and jumping with my eyes closed. My thighs will never be the same again! Look forward to returning one day. Look after Napoleon, kind regards"

Neil Calvert - Scotland

"Thanks for an unforgettable experience and giving me so many ideas of how I can try and ride my horse at home better in the future. My ** birthday was a day that never can be repeated. By my next birthday Pam might need to learn how to spread her pelvis even more. Many thanks"

Pam Calvert - Scotland

"Thank you Bev for your great patience and understanding in our quest for the longest legs, deepest seat and rocking, flexible pelvis. I am sure it will come in handy for teaching Neil a few tricks! The dogs also made me feel quite at home."

Josefina Tallqvist - London

Just to say thank you for getting us on the week at Pinetrees and Beverley's brilliant lessons. We had a great week with lots of riding and sun - and very good lessons. I feel much more settled in many things now, but also realise that there is so much more to do, such as the posture and to get more relaxed in the saddle. Bev's video clips was a very good way of seeing what it actually looks like. Phew!

Christine Chang - London

Ditto - I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Many thanks for the wonderful recommendation.

Maggie Potts - Glasgow

I enjoyed my holiday at Pinetrees and please give my love to all the girls and horses (esp. Mara).

Pete and Chris Wade - UK

Thank you for the brillant lessons that Pete had with you last week. He has learnt so much and is much more confident. On Saturday and Sunday he went out riding on Gina (you remember the mad chestnut mare) he had two great rides on the Sunday he was galloping and going over jumps. Our friend Chris Spanner who is teaching Pete over here could not believe the difference in a week!! The weather here as been awful since we got back, might have to come for another visit! Love to the horses (especially Mara and Rebecca and not forgetting Bonbeta)
