A training program unique in France!
Would you like to specialize in training young horses, consolidate your skills and/or diversify your activities?
This course is for you!
Our teaching team ensures that the breaking-in process respects the physical and behavioral integrity of each horse. Each horse's education is tailored to its temperament and motor skills. As a result, our approach differs according to the horse treated, and is not based on a fixed breaking-in method. Your trainers will be keen to pass on their technical tools and experience, while helping you to develop your own skills.
