On the other hand, many stables are looking for real “horsemen” trained in the riding profession: those who have received a solid basic training from riders recognised for their seriousness and professionalism.
Our goal is to train good riders and allow students to practice riding intensively in order to develop real skills and also allow them to participate in the conduct and management of professional stables.

Each trainee is responsible for several horses or ponies of different levels and must ensure their care, monitoring and daily work on the basis of alternating sessions in autonomy and sessions directed in private lessons to guide the horses work and follow the progress.
For students who wish to continue in the profession: Advice and integration into professional life: objectives will be proposed to students according to their profile following the course and contacts with professionals in the equestrian world will be established.
