What could be better than taking advantage of
the magnificent beaches of the Ile de Ré to escape and get some fresh air? Ile de Ré has many natural sites suitable for walking, cycling, but also horse riding! Indeed whether it is the beaches, but also the forests, Ile de Ré is the ideal destination for horse riding. Even if you are not a horse lover and you are not very comfortable on horseback, this is not a problem. Many groups on the island offer different options and for everyone to make sure you have unique experiences with friends and family and some great memories!
The Equipassion Club
Located in La Flotte-en-Ré, near Saint-Martin en Ré in the heart of the beaches and forests,
Equipassion offers horse riding, group and private lessons, training courses, a boarding service and its stable to discover. Open all year round, you will have the choice to ride by the hour or leave for a weekend or several days for a unique experience with your family or friends. The centre's instructors will offer you horses adapted to your level so that you can ride with your eyes closed, without any fear! If you have your own horses and if you wish to go with them, this is also possible as the centre will offer you the possibility of boarding them or putting them out in the meadow for the duration of your stay and will accompany you on your trekking itineraries, whether through vineyards, salt marshes, beaches or woods!
The Haras des Evières

Haras des Evières. The latter will also offer you many activities around horse riding such as lessons, courses and rides for all levels.

Réthaise equestrian association. This organisation aims to share its passion for horse riding with the inhabitants of the Ile de Ré, but also with its many tourists in search of new discoveries.
