    La ferme équestre est un endroit magnifique. Les activités équestres sont variées et adaptées aux enfants, incluant des classiques, du tir à l'arc, du horse-ball, des balades et des randonnées. Les chevaux et poneys sont adorables. La monitrice est très professionnelle, gentille et patiente. Les bivouacs sont au top du top. L'ambiance est conviviale et familiale, garantissant des moments inoubliables !
