  • Description

    Description

    We run an association which cares for children and teenagers with 'differences'. These 'different' people have a right to happiness, and we help them find their way on our estate. We also coach them to ride horses. We can host workwayers for several months so they can learn french, ride and progress on horseback, and live in a community with children and teenagers who need emotional and educational support. Laurence and Thierry
