In a country set in the heart of the Pyrenees in wonderful natural surroundings of green valleys, crystalline rivers, pools and lakes of ice cold water, meadows and leafy woods and small hamlets, it is a must to offer horse rides as a leisure as well as a sporting activity.

When horse riding, the best thing is to wear trousers or gaiters, although jeans and sports shoes are enough. Shorts and shoes which allow the foot no lever age are not recommended. The clubs have protective helmets and riding crops for children.
