Equestrian centers and pony clubs France

A equestrian centre located in the heart of an exceptional location, the Rond Bush park, just steps from the town centre of Chambéry and at the same time in a green setting. Whether you are practicing or travelling, you will be able to discover the beauty of the stables, always open for everyone's pleasure. They have a character architecture and are even classified historic monuments. The philosophy of this centre: providing quality education. It is not for those who simply want a hobby, but rather those (adults, children) who seek to make progress. Here, horse riding is considered a true sport.

Thanks to the Centre équestre de La Villette, horseback riding would almost become an urban discipline: admit that riding with the city around you, and the abundance of the Parc de La Villette, is not so frequent.

Introductory courses are reserved for beginners, as well as training sessions.
