On the back of a pony, a horse or a donkey, trot between the country houses and the Grésigne forest in the heart of still wild nature.
On horseback
Find your mount and go for a walk
Horse or pony ride, hair in the wind, between country houses and vineyards, undergrowth and sunflower fields. In Tuscany Occitane, there is a choice to find your travel companion. Six equestrian centers offer outings on the back of a pony or horse. From the plain at Rabastens to the steeper paths of the Grésigne forest, passing through the vineyards of the Cordais plateau, slow down, gain height and admire.
A little corner of paradise where people whisper in the horses' ears, the equestrian centers invite you for a romantic stroll between vineyards and sunflower fields.
Unique moments
At a walk, trot or gallop, breathtaking panoramas await you in the rolling vineyards of Gaillac. For artists, an incredible range of colors and for romantics, a collection of great spots to declare your love.



On the back of a donkey
Although they are known for their cute faces, donkeys also have a reputation for being somewhat stubborn! You will sometimes have to be convincing to continue your walk, but don't worry, no one has ever found themselves lost in the middle of the causse or the forest.
For a few hours or a few days, your companion will carry your belongings or your children for a getaway that they won't soon forget!
Another way to meet other animals
In the fall, you might be lucky enough to spot a deer. At nightfall, it might be a doe or a roe deer running away into the heart of the forest. A horseback ride is also an opportunity to delicately approach wild animals.
Training to get started
And if you have never ridden a horse, equestrian centers offer lessons in the basics of horse riding. With friends or family, with or without children, you will find the formula that suits you.
The carriage option
It's also possible to explore the countryside by horse-drawn carriage! Far from the rudimentary carriages of centuries past, today it's possible to stroll through the countryside in complete tranquility. A coachman will take care of finding some very pleasant stops: here, a wine estate, there the edge of the forest for a lunch on the grass.
