Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Treat your children aged 2 and a half to 11 to a pony ride in Brignoles and spend an hour in the heart of Provence Verte and its superb countryside!
Located just north of the border of the Sainte-Baume Regional Nature Park, Brignoles offers a magnificent natural setting for walks through fields and forests, less than an hour's drive from Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. And if you are looking for a fun family outing that the youngest members of the family will particularly enjoy, this pony ride for children in Provence Verte is the ideal activity!
Offering the whole family the chance to discover the landscapes of Provence Verte on foot, as well as giving the little ones their first equestrian experience, this pony ride in Brignoles will delight all participants. The activity begins with a moment of complicity between your child and his horse, which he will be able to brush with the help of an instructor from the Renarde riding centre. Your child will then sit on the pony's back, and it will be up to you to hold the lead rope and guide the pony for almost an hour along a route predefined by the instructor!
This pony ride in Provence Verte is a safe way to introduce your little ones to horse riding, in the company of animals that are used to young children. But if your child is at least 7 years old and already knows how to ride a horse, don't hesitate to offer them a guided horse ride during which they can take the reins of their mount!
