Description
I am a 67 years old woman who discovered a passion for horses 40 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 37 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 2 dogs, 1 cat, living in harmony with us :)
