I stayed for five weeks and loved my time here! I learnt a lot about horses in both riding and management. I was able to improve on my equestrian skills and French skills. The work was as expected for a show jumping yard but I felt as though I learnt a lot and enjoyed my time!

I had a great time with Benoît and Sylvie! Be prepared to work hard and fast but also to have the opportunity to experience and learn a lot while working and going to the shows. It was a fantastic way to immerse with local culture, listen and absorb all the knowledge Benoît and Sylvie were happy to share and help a local the host to make the most out of its potential:))
