Trekking on the trails through the Livradois Forest offers adventurous riding for both you and your horse. We encounter steep rocky ascents and descents, mountain streams, and trek through pine forests and fields discovering tiny picturesque villages. Because of the challenging nature of the ride, we have chosen a simple riding style ensuring you feel safe and comfortable.

We demand a basic riding ability. You must be able to trot & canter. Please be honest about your experience, weight and height so that we can select the best horse for you and make sure you have an unforgettable experience!
