Children are accepted from 12 years old. Nathalie, instructor and equestrian tourism guide, welcomes you and offers you 1h, 1h30 or 2h walks, and half-day, day or weekend hikes. The little something we loved: half-day, full-day or weekend winegrower's walks, where you can discover an exceptional terroir and a winegrower who talks to you about his work, his philosophy and, of course, his love of wine. On arrival, you cannot escape a commented tasting of all the wines of the Domaine Lafforgue. oeno-équi-tourism: a great idea!

Welcome to the Far West. 15 km from Perpignan, this equestrian tourism centre has a slightly western atmosphere and offers pony or horse rides of 1 or 2 hours (the beach is nearby) and even carriage rides, but also longer day rides on the sea or mountain side or 2 or 3 days in the Albères massif. You will appreciate crossing the chestnut and oak woods. The plus of this nice ranch: two-seater saddles to be used in family, a parent with his child from 4 to 11 years on the same horse.

Rando et Chariot, equestrian tourism centre located 10 min from the sea, offers excursions and activities à la carte with an emphasis on the link with the animal.Rando et Chariot offers horseback riding (horse rides), carriage driving (with a cart) and entertainment (with their horses and even camels!). We are particularly fond of day hikes with swimming in the Tech. Also 5 days an itinerant circuit from Collioure to Cadaquès! René and his team also offer skidding and ploughing with the help of a horse.

The Tour of Capcir in 6 days is possible with Bruno and Claudine. The time of your hike, it is a pack donkey which carries your pack. Night in a gîte, bivouac or evening around the fire, for itinerant stays close to nature. Stays are organized specifically for children from 7 to 14 years, the discovery of the mountain of plants and its wildlife, they love it and ask for more. Vagabond'âne is also a small farm with a culture of red fruits - supplemented by wild gathering - to produce jams.

Floriane is a bubbly young lady who offers riding lessons for all levels (including refresher courses and confidence-building) in a magnificent natural setting. Le Petit Futé fell in love with the horseback treks (from an hour to a week) between sea and mountains: from the Albères to the peaks of Vallespir. The concept is really brilliant: discovery of sumptuous valleys, swimming in streams and accommodation in the high mountains, the supervision is really very professional and the emotions are just right. We simply love it!

In the Pyrenees-Orientales, the great West is the Capcir. Claire, Yves and their son will take you on horseback through the great wild spaces during one day or more rides with bivouac in the nature or night in a gîte. On the menu: discovery of the Garrotxes, tour of Carlit, stag bellowing, Bouillouses lake... The horses raised in large parks in semi-freedom transhume twice a year on the mountain paths, since their youngest age, to connect the summer pastures in altitude and those of winter in the scrublands of Fenouillèdes.

Through mountains and forests, Equisud accompanies you in the heart of the wide open spaces of the Capcir to discover the local wild west on horseback. Mathieu and his team will share with you unique moments during one or several days of riding or initiation to outdoor riding. The love of horses, the respect of nature and the passion of the job animate the Equisud animators. They pay particular attention to animal welfare, just like their colleagues at Cheval-rando and La Tramontane. Try the experience!

On the road between Mont Louis and Les Angles nestle the stables of Sabine. This horsewoman offers riding lessons, pony rental and finally horse rides to discover the Matte forest or the shores of Lake Matemale. We have been as much touched by the seriousness and professionalism of this equestrian centre as by the attention paid to animal welfare. Sabine makes it a point of honour. You can feel in her stable that the animals are happy and are not there to please the tourists. Long live the respect of animal dignity.

Up in Tordères, come and discover the pleasure of riding a donkey in this farm where you can also spend time with the other animals. You will also discover sheep, goats, llamas, aviaries with pheasants, pigeons and ducks. You can rent one or more donkeys to discover the Aspres at the rhythm of his steps, he will be equipped with a pack to carry your bags and your picnic. You can even organise your child's birthday party, with a marked out route on the donkey and a meeting with the other guests.
