Itinerary for Auvergne Chateau Equestrian Escape




The equestrian center is well known for breeding and training high quality Thoroughbred racehorses, but of course there are many excellent school or trail horses for the riding clientele. Riding groups are kept small to a maximum of 6 riders. The rides explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the estate or you can opt for riding instructions in the arena in the disciplines of dressage, cross country or stadium jumping. Explore the endless diverse landscapes and watch the chain of volcanic hills rise in front of you with its 80 volcanoes.

The trainers speak limited English, so they are supported by an English lady (a rider as well), who provides the translation, which works quite well.
