"someone with zero experience"
It was a dream like holiday. I had zero experience with horses prior to this. Michel is an amazing teacher... I was Galloping on the 3rd day...
The whole stay was extra ordinary. The reviews were good but this was beyond my expectancies. The rooms were very cosy, equipped with everything I needed and the meals were excellent.
Their horses are amazing!!! calm and dog like friendly. I already miss them...
They are also wonderful people helpful with everything. I got very lucky going low season. The weather was amazing even at the end of November. Thanks to low season I had one on one sessions with Michel! Lucky me!
I would definitely go again for another week in spring before they get busy! With a more experienced group this time ;)

Dear Anne and Michel,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you both for the amazing time I had at Centre Équestre le Marina. Michel is an incredible teacher and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Despite being a complete beginner, I was able to learn a lot during my first class. Thanks to Michel's guidance, I felt confident enough to gallop later in the same day. Beautiful, well-behaved horses are available for riders of all levels. Michel, our guide, was very attentive and considerate towards both the riders and horses. He possesses extensive knowledge about the area and ensures that all riders have an unforgettable experience. Galloping along the Atlantic coast was an absolute paradise moment that I will cherish forever.
And of course, I would like to express my gratitude to Anne, who made our stay incredibly special and comfortable. She is an exceptional host, teacher, and kind-hearted individual, with a wealth of fascinating stories to share! Thank you for being such a patient listener and an amazing storyteller. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend visiting this beautiful place ♥️

"Dream coming true"
Instruction and teaching: I booked flexible riding as wasn't sure about my level. However during the first two days I was given such excellent training that from Wednesday I could join a group to do Atlantic coast trip. I had never been taught better.
Horses were just amazing, very well trained. Everyone absolutely adored their horses thinking they are the best.
Itinerary and organization: excellent. Galloping on the beach was the ultimate joy. Overall it was much better than i expected in every respect. Can't wait to travel with Ann and Michel again!

"The best holiday in my life"
We went for beginners/flexible riding with my 12 yo daughter. It was the best holiday we ever had. Accomodation and food was fantastic and exceeded all possible expectations. Horses are very well treated and all good character and very safe. Riding in the forest every day twice a day surrounded by beautiful nature of Bordeaux countryside. Our instructor Anne was very professional and gently took us both through this experience from the beginning till the end. We took part in feeding horses, which was unforgettable experience as well. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who considering such experience, but never tried it before. Anne and other instructors did their best for all guests to have unforgettable experience. Special thanks to Alexandra, who was cooking tasty and healthy meals every day. It was better than 5 star hotel.

"Easter Beginner Riding "
This experience was fantastic. The horses were clearly well treated and enjoyed human company. The way in which they trained us to ride discouraged use of the bit and was far more ethical. The horses were responsive to it and were extremely stable, not spooked at all throughout the week. I would recommend.
I arrived with only a week of previous experience riding and by day 3 was riding with the much more advanced riders and galloping through forests with the group due to how good an instructor Michel and Anne were. I would do this again.
The food was fantastic as was the company.

"Atlantic coast trail April 2019"
This is LEIGH here, not her father. We had a great holiday, really enjoyed the hospitality and attention from our guides and all of the team. Scenery, beach and forest riding was fantastic. The team really went out of their way to make sure my father was well fed, despite his celiac disease. Overall very satisfied, but the Atlantic coast trail was not the trip I wanted to book. See below for further details.
