HORSEBACK RIDING
Horseback ride in the woods near Quebec City
Riding western saddle
Vous adorez les chevaux et êtes un mordu d’équitation ? Ça tombe bien, nous aussi ! From spring to autumn, our experienced guides will help you discover the pleasures of a walk in the woods. Our hikes vary from 1 hour to 3 hours. We have different paths for you to discover. Our guides will share their knowledge. From the outset, even before you engage in the forest, you will be charmed by a beautiful view overlooking the two lakes. After a few minutes of walking, it is with a smile that you will bypass the trees, cross culverts and streams.
Learn to direct your horse
You quickly learn to understand non-verbal language of the horse, the horse to lead instead of being led to develop a relationship of trust with him and also to reward them with appropriate gestures. Un lien spécial se créé ainsi entre vous et votre animal, rendant votre balade à cheval encore plus mémorable. L’équipement est fourni lors des randonnées. And, we suggest you bring your camera, because during the hike, our guides will be happy to take your photos. So get out your hats and beautiful smile!
