Horse Riding in Normandy A discovery of Normandy would be incomplete without a mention of this region's passion for horses. Tourists are welcome to attend the numerous horse shows in Bagnoles de l’Orne or Deauville or visit the many horse breeding estates, of which the Haras du Pin and Haras de Saint Lô are the most exceptional.
There are stud farms and equestrian centres throughout Normandy and many of them cater to families and English speaking visitors. Whether you want just a few hours gentle hacking in the forest in Eure, or to cross the Mont St Michel bay on horseback for a once in a lifetime experience, a few days touring along coastal paths and beaches of Cotentin or through the verdant slopes of the Suisse-Normande, Normandy is the place for you.
