In a few words


Spend two days immersed in the heart of Green Provence, experiencing a true taste of life on an authentic Western ranch. Ranch life!

Here, there's no focus on performance or pure technique: this stay is first and foremost a discovery experience, accessible even to beginners. The goal is to experience ranch life, reconnect with horses, nature, and a friendly, simple, and refreshing atmosphere. Guided by passionate instructors, you'll discover different Western disciplines depending on the weekend's program: barrel racing, pole bending, mountain trail riding, fun cattle sorting, horseback riding, lassoing, or simply spending time with the horses. Each activity is designed as an introduction, in a supportive spirit, adapted to everyone's level. Beyond riding, this stay invites you to slow down, share, and savor the moment: wide open spaces, nature, the saloon, ranch life, and authenticity.

An original getaway for the curious, horse lovers or anyone wishing to experience a unique western experience in France, without pressure, as close as possible to the horses and the ranch spirit.
