Riding in the Pyrenees with BHS trained equestrian coach Eliza, is an accessible equine holiday for all levels of riding.

We offer bespoke riding holidays – NO BIG GROUPS (max 6 people) – and build our trips around our clients needs and ability.

The French Pyrenees mountains provide a fantastic backdrop for day long or overnight horseback excursions on the local Merens horses, noted for their surefootedness and safety in mountainous terrain.

Witness dawn and dusk in the mountains, climbing up over the ski slopes, stop for a saddlebag lunch in the high Pyrenees, siesta under the trees, catch a beer in the market place on the way home and return with the setting sun.

Overnight accommodation (including breakfast and dinner) in comfortable local 3* star hotel with menus bursting with delicious local French cuisine and wines, kickstarted by a refreshing ‘apero’ on the terrace; the perfect end to a wonderful day!

 

Excursions of all lengths and all levels of riding experience catered from July to October each year

Prices start at £1200 per person for 3 days riding all inclusive accommodation, riding and catering (travel connections and flights extra).

For prices on shorter day long rides or longer (5-8 day camping rides), please contact Eliza for itineraries and prices

“The best riding I’ve ever had – fabulously organised, sensational scenery and the most quintessential French setting take me back there – ASAP!!” –  Sarah, August 2024

I thoroughly recommend this as a way of exercising, being out of doors in stunning countryside, being alongside lovely horses and people too. The best tonic! Eliza and Nathalie are so competent at what they do. And it was utterly real, unpretentious and in the most beautiful part of the world. Loved every minute of it! –  Kate, September 2025

Beautiful and well trained horses; really enjoyed learning from the guide about the Mérens horses and how they live. Amazing routes, loved the mountain treks. Would have happily ridden for more days! –  Judith, September 2025
