The Holiday Season is over and the Winter Blues has set in.
We're 3 weeks into 2011 and it seems to be the season for letting New Year Resolutions slip! So if you've missed a couple of gym sessions, not managed to find time to meet up with friends yet and haven't made those planned lifestyle changes, take heart - you are not the only one! But here's a tip - if the January blues are kicking in, planning a holiday is a great way to get over them. And if you, like us, made a resolution to get on a horse more often, to keep fit and to try new experiences this year, then planning a riding holiday means that one of your resolutions can remain on track.
January has been very busy for us so far ... maybe the recession is over ? Probably not, but people are certainly travelling again. Several of our popular trips have already Sold Out dates for this year.
Our website is now fully updated with rates and dates for 2011 and we are constantly improving the usability.
There is now a great section with all of our online videos - have a look at: http://www.hiddentrails.com/tourvideo/index.aspx
Some new exciting trips have been added as well:
1. Bulgaria - Rhodope Mountains Ride - In the Land of Orpheus
2. Southern Spain - Atlantic Coast Ride with Feria option in May
3. Central Spain - Kingdom of Castile Ride - across the Gredos Mountains
4. Spain - Balearen - Menorca Explorer on Horseback
5. USA, California - Trinity Alps - Coffee Creek Ranch
6. Brazil - Plantation Ride -- near Sao Paulo
