After breakfast you will get extensive explanation about the basics of riding with a western saddle and dealing with our horses.
We will give a saddling demonstration and there is plenty of opportunity to share your experience and ask questions.
You will be partnered with your horse, which you will ride for the entire week, ensuring to build a trusting partnership.
After lunch your first acquaintance with your horse for this week will become a fact.

Today you will take a full days ride (4-5 hours) across the plains and woods. Enjoy the parcs vast views and we will have a picnic lunch at a beautiful spot.
Day 4: Monday
Today you will take again a full days ride (4-5 hours) across the plains and woods, but of course a different route than Sunday
Day 5: Tuesday
After breakfast a day off for you as well as your horse. You can spend the day as you please. Guests having their own car can go sightseeing and visit several sights in the area.
There are plenty of interesting locations. Visit the town of Castres at about a 20min drive from the ranch, the beautiful town of Albi at about 1hr drive from the ranch, with it's beautiful cathedral Sainte-Cécile of Castelnau-de-Montmiral at over 1hr drive from the ranch (32km west of Albi).
Guests without their own transportation we can take to Castres and also pickup again (included with transfer costs)
Of course you can also make a nice walk starting from the ranch or spend your day at the ranch and relax.
Day 6: Wednesday
A full days trail ride with a picnic lunch.
Day 7: Thursday
After breakfast we again make a full days ride. We assume everyone is still capable after the many hours already spent in the saddle.
This evening we finish this week with a BBQ, where you can share your many adventures and experiences of this week.
Day 8: Friday
After breakfast we unfortunately have to say 'goodbye'....
It is our experience that you will have had an unique and enjoyable experience and we are sure that you have gained more sense concerning horses and nature.
We would love to welcome you back at Oosting-HorseRiding in the future.
