The expert's opinion
The trip is accessible to all levels, which means we will adapt the pace of the group to those with the least riding experience.
In order to preserve the physical integrity of our cavalry and to ensure a practice respectful of the animal, we are obliged to limit access to the mounts to riders not exceeding 1m80 and 80 kg .
