Très belle expérience avec des moniteurs au top !

Ici, vous pouvez choisir votre niveau sportif lors de la réservation et en tant que cavalier plus expérimenté, vous ne risquez pas de vous balader au pas uniquement.

Je pense que je n'aurais pas pu rêver mieux pour une première expérience. Un parcours excellent et dynamique ! Et ça avec des chevaux adorable et vraiment pas difficile. (Petite pensé à Denver)

Très boueux au vu de la météo. Attention, étriller un cheval peut déclencher une allergie carabinée. Prévoir masque, foulard, et sérum physiologique.

La balade était géniale, Melissa était très accueillante et souriante. Et le plus important reste le fait que les chevaux sont très bien traités. Je recommande vivement !
