Week-long horseback riding trip – Landes, Basque Country, Périgord

What can I say, just perfect! Our daughter came back thrilled! The teenagers were very well looked after. The English teacher and riding instructor were top-notch. A small group of 5 girls with great camaraderie. And above all, they're already looking forward to coming back next year! 😅

I've just returned from my second horseback riding trip with this center. Everything was perfect! The horses, the scenery, the atmosphere, the meals... There's even a pool and a sauna to relax in after the five hours of riding. Michel has his own unique way of doing horseback riding; each horse, and therefore each rider, must be independent. We never canter one behind the other; we can all take turns leading. It's so great that it's going to be hard to go on rides anywhere else after this. I haven't tried it, but I know they also offer outdoor riding courses for beginners. In one week (four hours a day), Anne teaches you to be comfortable at all three gaits, and you're able to canter on the beach on the last day! A thousand thanks to Anne, Michel, Amandine, and Yoann for their hospitality and for giving me such a wonderful week.

A wonderful week of riding in the forest and on the beach! Anne, Michel, and Yohan allowed us to discover their region with the help of their lovely horses. The horses are hardy and responsive to their riders. The gîte is very pleasant, and the pool and sauna were much appreciated after a day in the saddle. Thank you to the whole team!

I had a fantastic week at this equestrian center. The Derby Cross clinic was brilliant with a superb coach! The horses are out in the paddock 24/7! The accommodation is really great and clean too. A huge thank you to Amandine who cooked us amazing meals throughout the week. I highly recommend it! We'll be back next year!

Arrived as a beginner (6 lessons in UK) and left feeling confident to enjoy the canter along the beach. Ann is a great instructor - explaining how the methods relate to horse behavior and psyche. The horses are all well natured and happy. I was apprehensive about not being able to keep up with others, but the teaching style is patient and I was lucky to be in a group of kind and supportive people. The beach ride is bliss!

This was my second visit here, had the best time... Horse was amazing "Jango". The rides were good too. Unfortunately there was a heat wave but the team improvised well and horses and riders were looked after. I totally recommend this equestrian center.. Thanks Michelle and Anna..

This is the second year in a row I've come for a long ride in the forest and then on the beach at this center, and it's always a pleasure. The instructors, like the horses, are perfect! The setting for the ride is incredible. I highly recommend it!

Hello Michel, We wanted to thank you again for the wonderful horseback ride on Saturday, April 11th with our two boys. What a pleasure it was to see you again 20 years later with the same passion, such a beautiful approach to horses, and such a gentle yet effective technique. Thank you for taking the time to explain the basic rules to our boys; you managed to keep them smiling and enjoying riding despite the less-than-ideal weather. They're even keen to come back and see you for a clinic. What more could we have hoped for? We wanted to share with them the feeling we had during those magnificent gallops on the beach, and you more than succeeded. We wish you all the best and hope to come back and see you sooner this time. Arnaud and Marie
