Here, we have listed 5 reasons why you should at least do this experience on French routes and repeat it without further delay.
1. Get closer to nature
During a horseback ride, you will escape the big cities to embark on another path of discovery - towards the mountains, by the sea, in the greenery of the forests, etc. Our partners tailor the most captivating itineraries to make you dream: from Normandy and Mont St Michel, northern Picardy, Brittany and Pays de Loire; Champagne, Ardennes and Alsace-Lorraine, in Ile de France, Center Bourgogne and Franche Comté, Poitou, Charentes, Limousin, Auvergne, Aquitaine, Rhône Alpes, Midi-Pyrénées Provence and Corsica among others. A whole range of offers are available and it is up to you to select the region that suits you, either by proximity or simply by wanting to discover new landscapes. Horseback riding is a sublime experience amidst rich flora and fauna. So, get in the saddle for an adventure accessible to all!

2. Relax yourself!
If you want to wipe out worries and mundane annoyances away, get yourself a seat in the saddle. It is an excellent way to relax because, in the company of the horse and the silence of nature, your state of mind is regenerated. Eventually, the rhythmic pace of the horse will calm you, and you will feel much lighter. For instance, imagine that you book your hike along the Atlantic Ocean beach towards Aquitaine and Landes, or towards the bay of Mont Saint Michel in Normandy! You will enjoy the breeze and the beauty of these turquoise waters for the well-being of your mental health.

3. Improve your physical condition
In the past, it was believed that a horseback ride brought no benefit to the body other than fatigue. However, studies have shown that fatigue is caused by muscles that are put to use during riding and which are rarely trained even in the gym! A session of horseback riding strengthens your pace and posture. In addition to the abdominal and back muscles being trained, your thighs will also get more toned. So, as much as you repeat this practice, you become calmer, fitter and more focused.

4. Anyone can participate in a horseback ride
Horseback riding is a sport accessible to everyone, but with its difficulty levels ranging from I to IV depending on the route chosen, so are most sports. For example, our partners have specially trained ponies meant for children aged 4. These are practised on closed circuits so that kids can learn about the joy of riding, without experiencing any difficulty or danger. An experienced instructor will assist them throughout the activity. For the older kids that are keen on taking horseback riding courses, our partners have tailor-made lessons to suit your requirements! We make sure to offer a series of lessons, theory and practice that will quickly allow you to master the basics of horseback riding. You see, there is room for everyone and of all levels of expertise - beginners or experienced, children or adults!
