Normandy’s lush green countryside and vast meadows provide an ideal setting for horse riding. Horse-riding plays an important role, particularly around Alençon, and the Orne département is home to a number of renowned riding schools and stud farms.
These establishments cater for beginners and experienced riders alike, offering lessons, courses and horse rides through bocages and forests. Riding here is much more than a sport: it’s a shared passion, rooted in the local heritage and driven by a deep respect for horses and nature. So take your pick, there’s something for everyone!
