Description
I am a 60 year old woman who discovered a passion for horses 30 years ago and who left the Paris region to settle in Normandy to live this passion fully.
Today I live with my oldest daughter of 30 years to whom I transmitted this love for the horses and we take care today of a dozen horses. Foals, mares, ponies and geldings relax in our meadows before going to train for competitions.
I suggest you come to live this experience through a total immersion in the heart of the life of horses in my large farm located in the heart of the Channel.
There are also 4 dogs, 2 cats and 1 rabbit living in harmony with us :)Types of help and learning opportunities

You will learn how to take care of a stable and horses and discover how horse breeding sports in France, because Normandy is the cradle of jumping horses breeding. As well as the country life surrounded by many animals and humans generous and welcoming.

You will help us take care of the horses: feed them, take them out to the meadow, walk around them, clean their stable and accompany my daughter to the competition if you wish.

My house is a big farm, divided in two parts because my mother lives in the other part.
There are plenty of horse facilities, a large garden, fields and a pool.
You will have your own room and bathroom and I would be happy to share meals with you, as well as the discovery of our beautiful region.
We can choose together the menus of the week so that everyone eats what he likes and you discover the specialties of the region!What else ...
You will discover this beautiful region of Normandy rich in history especially since the second world war (landing beaches, shelling, etc.) and its delicious gastronomy!
