Horse riding in Normandy

Whether you’re visiting on holiday or lucky enough to call the area home, you’ll find several excellent equestrian centres offering a variety of horse-riding activities for all ages and abilities.

Bois Guilbert Equestrian Farm

Home to France’s very first pony club and proudly awarded the Bienvenue à la Ferme quality label, Bois Guilbert Equestrian Farm welcomes children and adults alike.

Enjoy peaceful horseback and pony rides through the forest, or take part in riding lessons with a strong focus on nature and the great outdoors. The farm also organises holiday camps and activities throughout the year.

The centre’s horses and ponies—including Shetland ponies, Icelandic horses and, more recently, Camargue horses—are all raised on the farm.
