Equestrian centers

Oleron Island enjoys a pleasant environment to practice horse riding. Its three major forests and its significant stretches of beach and marsh are well suited for riding.

During the months of July and August, riding is allowed on the beaches but only in the evening or in the early morning.

The equestrian centers of the island can accommodate experienced riders and train less experienced practitioners. Ponies allow the practice of this sport by young people.

Horses can also be accommodated in most of these centers.

Several riding schools propose to practice horsemanship. Among those, we can quote the following ones.

Sauzelle

On the edge of the Saumonards forest, "La Balad'" is located in Sauzelle, in the municipality of Saint-Georges.

This center practices an ethological outdoor riding, which respects the horse's behavior.
