"I want to thank you for your service, you are very kind. My holiday was more than I expected. The people, the horses, the nature - everything in the right place. I felt home and Olle, Annemiek and Pieter are great people. As I told you, it was a dream riding horses in nature for a few days - my dream came true. I cannot imagine doing it somewhere else.
The way they treat the horses, the way they ride the horses is unbelievably beautiful and respectful. I learned a lot and will take that with me the next time I ride a horse. I will go back and stay longer."
Didi, describing her Saga Rides in June 2009.
