HORSE RIDING & SCHOOL PROGRAMME
HORSE RIDING & SCHOOL PROGRAMME AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE
Horse riding at HDN Academy: History
It has now been over eight years since we established our horse riding + studies division in partnership with the le Centaure equestrian centre in Nîmes.
It was there that we met a family of enthusiasts whose children, Lou and Tom, became our riding division’s first pupils.
