Horseback riding in France

Horseback riding in France

Initiate yourself to horse riding and horseback riding in France

Horseback riding is a ride on horseback with the aim of discovering the heritage. Horseback riding in France is a practice of open nature that allows you to explore a region in its most remote corners. Horseback riding is not only reserved for experienced riders or professionals. It is possible to begin without having ridden a horse before. Anyone can take part in the adventure without any particular physical condition. Young and old alike and why not together as a family? Programs are custom-made and can be adapted to suit you.

Star or roaming over several days

The initiation begins with a handling of the horses in the riding school's quarries. You establish a first bond with your horse, congratulate him, take care of him. Then, you will set off to discover the splendours of the region in a star-shape or by roaming over several days. After the morning ride, you take a break to taste the local products in the heart of nature while the horses rest. You get back on horseback for the next ride. You return to the same place in the evening to sleep in a charming address of your choice. The next day you can ride your horse again to leave in another direction and return to the starting point. If you prefer the itinerant tour, you can sleep in a tipi, a yurt, a refuge or a chalet, depending on the location. A real immersion with the horses.

Diversity

All regions have their own specificities and charm. Set off to explore the hidden paths of France's secret hair in the wind. Enter into communion with the elements and befriend your mount. On the beach while admiring the sunset over the Mont Saint Michel. Meet the lands occupied by shepherds and their flocks. A space where time has stopped.

The scents of the Corsican maquis, the wine route in Burgundy, vineyards as far as the eye can see, the coastal forest of the Landes coasts, the wild marshes, the Jura lakes, the Rhone valley in Ardèche, the Pyrenees national park between mountains with eternal snows, lush forests and torrents of water.
