the riding school

On Sunday the nineteenth of September 2004, St Gervais-la-Foret’s horse riding school instructors opened the doors of St Gervais’s castle to have the public discover the pleasure of horse riding.
Short people were able to live their first contact with horses : moments of laughing and joy for some, fear for the others, ... thanks to free poney rides managed by some club riders. Tall people got all the information they wanted and they were even able, if they wished, to enrol in the school at the reception where subscriptions are usually done every evening between 5 and 6 pm.

the equipment

On Sunday, near the reception, riders were able to sell their old equipment.

In the countryside, about 3 kms from Blois, this riding school will teach you how to go riding and also how to take care of horses ( trial run, competition, etc).

first poney rides


This club is equipped, like an ordinary riding school, with several quarries, fields for horse shows ( cross, obstacles..), beautiful meadows and also very pleasant alleys in the forest within the framework of riding ( going across a little river called "le Cosson").
Finally a natural and relaxing place where you will be able to feel the pleasure of safe horse riding .

In my opinion the article is very interesting.
I love horses and I ride horses every day.
I believe that it's a very good experience and it's very interesting to know how to ride a horse!
I have five horses and I love them. When I'm very stressed, I only think about them and I don't know how but I forget everything and I feel better! I think that they have a very special power that helps us all to relax.
