Here, Mérens horses, ponies and donkeys live freely, in wide spaces, on preserved meadows and alpine pastures, at the pace of the seasons and the mountains. Riders and animal lovers are welcome to share in the daily life of the farm, participate in caring for the horses and in the horses' training, and in the seasonal activities

Our stay at Bernard and Martine's farm was truly unforgettable! They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. We gained so many new experiences, from learning how to ride horses and care for animals to helping with different tasks around the farm. Every day was a chance to learn something new. Bernard and Martine are incredibly kind and generous, and we're so grateful for their hospitality and all the wonderful memories. We couldn't have asked for better hosts and would definitely recommend this experience!

I worked in the garden and had a great time caring for animals. Bernard taught us how to ride and care for horses, and i went from nothing to being able to trot, gallop and ride on my own. There is no set schedule and you are not forced to work. Bernard and Martine were very helpful towards my needs, even took in more volunteers for me.
Unfortunately still, Bernard had a few inapropriate comments about me, which could be fine if you're not too sensitive about this, but I was. I talked with him about it and he kind of understood, but did not stop entirely.
Despite this, i liked my stay.

I know that your past experiences have made you sensitive to certain subjects, since you confided in me about them when you hadn't told anyone else. I have a free tongue and ideas more unconventional than what one might expect from a 72-year-old man, but also an English that is insufficient to address certain topics with more delicacy and restraint than some people may hear. I wish you the beautiful life you deserve and thank you for your seriousness and for your particularly effective help.

Bernard and Martine are two wonderful people. They really made me feel at home during my stay. They always make sure you eat enough and that you feel okay. You can fill your days up whichever way you want. You're not obliged to work, only if you want. Bernard is very experienced and knows a lot, he is always open to explain the things when you don't understand something. If there is time, chances are that Bernard will show you local things (e.g. the local theater) or teach you to ride horses. I had a great time. I would definitely recommend coming!

A wonderful experience with this polite, motivated, available young man, always with a smile on his lips and the desire to do well, to help, to give affection to animals and a strong desire to learn.
Syljijn, we miss you!!

The place was super beautiful and the animals were cute. There was no set schedule and sometimes the farm life can be hectic. We got to eat delicious and organic food. I learned a lot throughout my stay. I also loved my room!

Indeed, all these health problems in the old mare (31 years old) have been a trial for her and also for all of us. In breeding, not everything is idyllic... Fortunately, it doesn't happen every day. Breeding is about births, youth, the education of foals, but also illness, accidents, old age and death. It has nonetheless been a valuable experience for you. It is sad as well. That's life...! Thank you again for helping me and supporting me through this ordeal.
