Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon , check in, go for a hike along
the sandy beach and meet for dinner.
Day 2: The first riding day is a half day trail of 4 hours and 30
minutes, including a stop of 45 minutes allowing time for everybody to share the
first contact around a cup of tea, cakes and orange juice. This day enables the
riders to get used to the horses and gives us the opportunity to grasp their
different levels and expectations, to put them on the horses that suit them
best. For some of the riders, this half day gives them the chance to get back
into the swing of riding. The surroundings are very beautiful and with excellent
views of the ocean from the top of natural dunes. Optional riding lessons are
available with prior notice.
Day 3 : A very varied day that starts with a ride along the coast
before we head inland to discover the Tirelagüe marsh, Sintias lagoon and Bourg
le Vieux lake. In the afternoon, we return towards the coast, riding through the
sand dunes before finishing with a ride along the banks of the River Courlis.
Throughout the week we can enjoy excellent meals with extensive lunches on the
trail.
Day 4: On our last full day of the trail in Landes, we head towards
the Etang d’Aureilhan, the large lake just to the north of Mimizan. We spend the
afternoon riding along its shores before finishing the day with a sunset ride
along the beach.
Day 5: Start of our “Perigord” 3 day excursion ride: In the
morning, discover the Cahor Vineyards and the Lot Valley. Enjoy lunch in the
