Horse and Pony riding

Restrictions

It is very complicated to set up a horse riding activity because legislation is very strict.
Some restrictions:

• The moniter must adapt the outing to the level of the most inexperienced rider ; people are often disappointed with their outing as they were not able to do the things they were capable of.
• The moniter cannot let you set off without the basic equipment, ie. boots and riding helmet. We have a few pairs of boots that we can lend you if we have your size, but this isn’t always the case.

If you are a keen rider, bring your own gear and book your outings or lessons as soon as you arrive.

Where you can ride

There are 3 possible locations for horse riding.
