Horse rides

The Brévedent Equestrian Centre is the starting point for many rides through forests and open countryside, at walk or canter. Set off to discover the beautiful Pays d’Auge valley. You can also visit Blangy-le-Château, one of the most beautiful villages in France, on horseback.

Organising rides requires careful planning to ensure the well-being of our horses and to fit in with the other activities at the equestrian centre. We therefore ask you to contact us at least the day before you would like to ride.

Discovery ride

This 3-hour ride is reserved for experienced riders. Starting through the forest, the route takes you to the village of Blangy-le-Château, listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”, where you can enjoy the traditional architecture of the Pays d’Auge.
