At Pégase Harmony, you will discover the joys of horseback riding during a bespoke session where you will be paired with your horse, learn how to care for it, and take it on a trail ride!
Pégase Harmony values the connection and respect between horse and rider above all else. At the beginning of this special horse riding experience in Landes, all riders will be invited to share about their previous experiences with horses as well as their own personality type in order to be paired with the best horse for them. Then, riders will have the chance to get to know their horse whilst meeting the rest of the herd and learning about the care of horses, including feeding them, filling their water buckets, and mucking out their stalls!
Beginners to horse riding will then be taught the basics of riding from an experienced instructor, while more experienced riders will be able to expand their skills. When you are feeling confident on top of your horse, you will go on a trail ride together among the surrounding pine forests of Landes. There is no better way to take in the natural beauty of the countryside than from astride a gentle equine companion! The training and trail ride are completely adaptable depending on your comfort, riding level, age, and needs. This tailor-made discovery session on the joy of horse riding is the perfect activity for animal lovers old and young, no matter your age or experience.
