About Horse riding at La Roche-en-Brenil in the Morvan.
Very calm horses. Inexperienced riders. they were shown how to prepare the horses, saddle up, how to wear all the correct equipment, mount, how to rise in the saddle for trotting. On return they dismounted looked after the horses, hosed them down etc. The ride was over two & half hours through lovely scenery & they certainly has a great experience & enjoyed it very much.
