Horse riding is also very popular in Burgundy and numerous equestrian tours can be organised through the local equestrian centre.
Riding schools, pony clubs, donkey trekking, stud farms, carriage rentals, polo, horse riding holidays, show jumping are all available in the Yonne, the Côte d’Or, Saône-et-Loire and Nièvre areas of Burgundy. The region offers a vast range of equestrian activities for casual visitors and for dedicated sportsmen and women alike. With indoor and outdoor arenas, cross, show jumping, harnessing training, riding trails, polo and horse ball, stables in Burgundy cater for most - trick riding, hunter, dressage, endurance, horse ball and even horse-drawn caravan trips.
Tradition, experience and a host of professional trainers from the national stud centres in Burgundy have led to the development of many different forms of horse related activities for tourists and sports persons.
