Explore the countryside, which will take you through the most breath-taking scenery: dramatic mountains, isolated beaches with the surf lapping on the coastline, small fields parceled by dry stone walls, quiet country lanes, original native forests. Ride over natural jumps and cross country courses; meander leisurely through terrain of unspoiled beauty or have an invigorating gallop across beaches and open parkland.  Hack through history where the English and Scots have battled for over 300 years.  Ride through the 17th Century Renaissance of France- you enjoy the magic of old stoned dwelling, chateaux and castles, and of the Ladies and Lords authentic and cordial welcome - Royal! And at the end of the day, feast on traditional country cooking and fine wines or pop on over to the local pub for a bit of "craic".  Taste the local gastronomy: picnic with foie gras - taste and experience the french art de vivre. If you wish to "get away from it all" and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime, go on an Equestrian Vacation and Riding Tour.
