What if this new year was an opportunity to live a unique experience? Have you always dreamed of riding a horse but never dared to take the plunge? This year, find a resolution that suits you: start horseback riding. Whether you’re looking for a sporting activity, a moment of escape, or a new personal challenge, horseback riding offers multiple benefits for body and mind. At Horse Holidays France, we accompany you on this beautiful adventure, regardless of your level.Here are 3 arguments that will help you take the leap and come meet our horses.

#1 A Complete Activity for Body and Mind

Horseback riding is much more than a simple sporting activity: it’s an activity that engages both the physical and mental aspects. It strengthens muscles, improves balance and posture, while developing concentration and coordination skills

#2 To all those who say that horseback riding is not a sport, come and try a session!

At Horse Holidays France, we offer regular or occasional lessons that combine practice in the saddle and moments of connection with the horse. Before each session, you participate in grooming: a moment where you brush and prepare your horse while learning about it: anatomy, knowledge of equipment and it’s use… This direct contact allows you to establish a relationship of trust, essential for an enriching experience. Supervised by experienced instructors, our courses gradually introduce you to all facets of horseback riding, in the warm setting of Maisons-Laffitte, and adapted to all levels.

#3 An exceptional Setting Just a Stone’s throw away

Starting horseback riding also means enjoying nature and escaping from your daily routine. At Horse Holidays France, we are fortunate to be located in Maisons-Laffitte, an emblematic place for horseback riding, just 20 minutes from Paris. With its large park, beautiful landscapes, and numerous equestrian paths, this unique setting offers a real breath of fresh air, far from urban hustle and bustle but easily accessible. 

Our rides for beginners and more experienced riders immerse you in this soothing and rejuvenating atmosphere. Imagine crossing the superb Mansionnian forest with over 65km of riding trails, and enjoying the calm of nature. These getaways are opportunities to reconnect with oneself while sharing special moments with your horse.

#4 Discipline and Responsibility

Horseback riding is not just a sport, it’s also a school of life. Taking care of a horse, preparing it, caring for it, and ensuring its well-being develops a deep sense of responsibility. By riding a horse, you also learn to respect instructions, manage your emotions, and show rigor. Sometimes even courage! These values, precious in many aspects of life, are at the heart of our approach at Horse Holidays France. For younger riders, this discipline is particularly formative. It allows them to acquire a certain autonomy while developing their respect for animals. At Horse Holidays France, we transmit these teachings through our lessons and trail rides, always in a caring atmosphere and adapted to all. Make this year the Year of horseback riding with Horse Holidays France! Starting horseback riding means offering yourself a moment out of time, a beneficial escape, and a beautiful adventure. At Horse Holidays France, we do everything to make your discovery of horseback riding memorable, enriching, and adapted to your expectations. Book your first ride today and discover the joys of horseback riding in an exceptional setting. Take the first step towards a resolution that could transform your year, and maybe even your life!

During the whole day you will ride your horse departing from Maisons-Laffitte, you will explore the forest of Saint-Germain passing by the Château de Val, you will ride along the terrace of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye castle and discover the “Mare aux Canes” (a cute Duck Pond in the forest). For lunch, our assistance team will prepare a nice pique-nique with French specialities.

Back at the stables, you will be offered an aperitive.

  • The second one is a half day ride
