Lisa, 30 years old, CQPORE graduate

Lisa is the founder of the farm, a project she began in 2020 after several years working in the French National Education system. She wanted to combine her various values ​​in one place, and that's how the non-profit project was born: a structure that blends children's education and horses with a focus on genuine well-being. Lisa is the president of the association, where she dedicates herself year-round to making equestrian activities accessible to all types of disadvantaged communities.

In addition to the association's activities, Lisa offers high-quality equestrian leisure activities for riders of all levels from France and beyond. She has designed each ride as an authentic experience, carefully seeking out hidden routes, unique accommodations, and ensuring her horses are safe and well-behaved.

With us, there are no jaded horses or boring circuits! Accompanied by your mount and Lisa's expertise, discover the unspoiled diversity of the landscapes in our region, ideally located between the Vercors and Dévoluy mountain ranges, on the edge of the Southern Alps...

    Starting at 9 a.m., we offer a warm welcome with coffee to kick off this equestrian holiday focused on sharing and connecting with the animal. This allows everyone to express their expectations, while Lisa, your guide, selects the horse best suited to your level and preferences.

    Once the horses are prepared together, the morning continues with a ride on small mountain trails, where we will cross rivers and can enjoy some light jogging (if possible, in the snow). Lunch is served in a warm place while the horses feast on hay, essential for their well-being during the winter.

    The afternoon hike takes place at the foot of the Aiguilles, iconic mountains of the Jarjatte valley. The pace is adapted to the group, promoting comfort and enjoyment.

    Back at the farm in the late afternoon, each rider takes care of their mount: massages, stretches and post-exercise care are on the program, to learn to better understand the horse and build a real bond of trust.

    We then head towards the gîte (accompanied by car 2 km further into the valley), where the rest of the festive evening awaits us.
