Children’s Horse-Riding Discovery Experience at Maïdo, Reunion Island

Designed especially for children aged 3 to 10, this introduction to horse riding in Reunion Island is the perfect activity for a first equestrian experience. With or without your assistance depending on their age, your child will learn the basics of riding at their own pace, on a calm pony accustomed to young riders. During this initiation at Maïdo, your child will spend time with their pony to get it ready: they’ll learn how to groom it and tack it up before riding, all within a secure setting.

Depending on the chosen option, your child will take part in a 30-minute or 1-hour arena session where they will learn to guide their pony. This arena introduction, like the rest of the activity, will of course be supervised from start to finish by a qualified BPJEPS riding or equestrian-tourism instructor. After the arena session, children over the age of 5 will have the chance to round off the experience with a short 45-minute ride along the Maïdo trails.

Ideally located around 45 minutes from Saint-Paul or Saint-Gilles, the Chevaux du Maïdo equestrian centre is the perfect place to discover the equestrian world in an exceptional natural setting. Nestled in the heart of a preserved, lush forest with stunning viewpoints, the centre offers a warm welcome, and the instructors’ gentle teaching approach will help your child overcome any initial worries in no time.
