Specializing in equestrian tourism and ethology, Vaïana welcomes you to discover the Alpes de Haute Provence and the Hautes-Alpes on horseback.
At the foot of the mountains, she offers horseback riding and hiking trips in small groups.

Description

Here, the horse is placed at the heart of riding. The horses live in herds and have unlimited access to hay, in conditions as close as possible to their natural needs.

From an hour to several days, staying in a gîte or camping, come and discover the stunning landscapes of the Southern Alps and forge a true bond with your horse! Between lavender fields, lakes, and mountains, Vaïana will guide you through the Provençal Alps at the pace of the horses. Swimming with the horses, sunsets over the river, and even gourmet hikes await you, all the way to the Dévoluy and Queyras regions!

The Grand Bois Equestrian Farm offers not only riding lessons to discover all equestrian disciplines, TREC courses and ethology sessions, but also the passing of the Galops of classical and outdoor riding and the Ethology Knowledge of the FFE.

At the Grand Bois Equestrian Farm, you'll find horses suited to all levels, perfectly trained with respect for their physical well-being and their physiological and psychological needs. Vaïana also offers breaking and training for your horses, respecting ethological principles. Riders who own their own horses are also welcome with their mounts.

Vaïana, manager of an equestrian center and organizer of horseback riding trips for 5 years, holds a BPJEPS Equestrian Activities, a diploma in Equestrian Tourism Guiding, a Federal Certificate in Ethological Riding Supervision level 2 (BFEE 2) and a diploma in Equestrian Tourism Guiding (carriage driver) to guarantee your safety.

For all our activities, wearing trousers, closed shoes and a t-shirt covering the shoulders is mandatory for safety reasons.
