About
In The Saddle has been operating riding holidays since 1993 and is widely regarded as one of the gold standard operators in equestrian travel. Founded by Jackie Nock, the company is known for its rigorous vetting of operators worldwide — they visit every trip before offering it, and pull trips that don't meet their standards.
Their range spans six continents and includes everything from gentle trail rides in Tuscany to serious multi-day expeditions across Mongolia and Patagonia. What sets them apart is the quality of their horse welfare standards and the experience of their guiding staff.
They suit riders of all levels — from nervous beginners looking for a gentle introduction to international riding, to advanced riders seeking challenging and remote expeditions. The team is knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about horses.
