 Aassionate about the mountains and horses,Gisèle Tabanou, a certified equestrian guide, will help you discover horses in a different way : As a traveling companion your horse becomes a friend for exploring the mountains.
|
| During our outings and according to your ability you will be able to wander through the mountains over pretty trails and paths, passing through beech forests or over high summer pastures, following the ridges, to explore the sumptuous panoramas of the Pyrenees. Or discover the waterfall of La Piche or the joys of riding in snow. We offer a tour through unspoilt nature with the complicity of our horses. |
 |
| Our horses are principally Mérens and Castillon breeds, native to Ariège, which are raised on the farm and remain as a herd all year round. This makes them calm and gives them a balanced character; they are gentle and very sociable, plus they are sure-footed making them ideal companions for mountain outings and for all riders.
They are equipped with english saddles and english trekking saddles. We can also bring saddle bags and all equipment useful for staying away for one or several days. |
