A horse ride in the forest
A horse ride in the forest
A horseback ride in the forest will awaken your senses. Between the dunes and the marshes, the Landes forest and its hundred-year-old pines is a wonderful playground for an escapade in animal paradise. Hinds, birds, squirrels – keep your eyes peeled! As the seasons change, so will the smells. Mushrooms, heather, ferns… forget the city and let yourself go.
Relaxation and discovery around the lakes
Around the lakes of Lacanau or Hourtin-Carcans, you’ll find peace and well-being. Alone with your horse or accompanied, you can enjoy the calm of these stretches of freshwater, where observation and lounging are the order of the day. Wander between forests and sandy coves before perhaps indulging in a swim? With your horse, it’s an experience we invite you to try!
Galloping along the beaches of the Médoc Atlantique
Enjoy the sound of the waves as you walk, trot along the dunes and gallop along the beach with your hair blowing in the wind. With over 124 km of coastline, you’ll always find some fine sand to satisfy your desire to let go. On your way to adventure, the horizon will be your only limit. Enjoy the feeling of freedom and escape on horseback by the ocean.
Equestrian adventure along the estuary
The Gironde estuary, a little Camargue where horses are king, offers a wide range of rides between marshes and “carrelets”. From Valeyrac to Verdon-sur-Mer, follow the waters towards the ocean. The small fishing ports, the Richard lighthouse and the oyster and prawn farms will be wonderful stops along the way.
