The holiday is customized depending on weather and guests. It is your holiday so French Riding Holidays can help you ride as much as you would like. If the ground is safe, it is possible to go down the TREC (Techniques de Randonnee Equestre Competition) course, the cross country, and the show jumping paddock. You have plenty of rides out from the gite of course. During the week, some lovely riding and celebratory food and drinks back at the gite in front of the log fire will be available for you.
French Riding Holidays has a range of beautiful horses to suit your individual requirements, ranging from the English thoroughbred to the calm and sure-footed mountain horse.

French Riding Holidays has a lot of woodland, open countryside, river valleys, and some of the most beautiful villages in France canters along the many paths and open fields.
A typical day's riding would comprise of between two or three hours ride in the morning, back to the gite for a home-cooked lunch, and then a few more hours riding in the afternoon. For the day rides, go a bit further afield with a break for a gourmet picnic lunch with home-cooked food using fresh local produce and regional wines. Horses and riders refreshed, then you will continue your ride, returning to the gite for a beer or glass of wine and a dip in the pool.
French Riding Holidays has a cross-country course on the grounds of the woodland valley. The course consists of 11 jumps from fallen logs, water jumps, and higher obstacles for those that would like to try it out. In addition, French Riding Holidays also has some TREC obstacles, similar to Handy Pony, so you can try the S bend, neck rein through the figure of eight, and open and shut the gate, to name a few. It really helps teach you to control your horse and is great fun.
It is your riding holiday and it is French Riding Holidays' aim that it should be an enjoyable experience. Although you get to see a lot of the countryside and culture on horseback, if one day you would prefer sightseeing or visiting one of the many places of interest, as opposed to riding, French Riding Holidays can help you with this as well.
The setting could not be more perfect for a getaway from it all holiday whilst still combining the fun and excitement of the riding. The Mas de Clamouze in Asprieres, France offers peace and tranquility and there is a definite sense of calm. Sitting on the terrace in the evening watching the sunset over the valley can only be described as paradise.
Food is a big part of the French way of life and things are no different here. French Riding Holidays prides themselves on providing the very best cuisine and they cater to all tastes and requirements, including vegetarian and vegan. This Christmas holiday will serve you a champagne breakfast followed by a morning ride with mulled wine and nibbles. A traditional Christmas lunch in the afternoon with after-dinner games and a light supper will also be available for you.
Breakfast is at the gite for you to enjoy at your leisure, either out on the terrace or around the big family table if you prefer. Lunch is a leisurely affair to allow you and the horses time to relax before your afternoon ride. It will either be served on the terrace at the gite or a sumptuous picnic is provided en route consisting of local foods and wines. On your return from your days riding, you are greeted with cold drinks and snacks and in the evening, a four-course dinner with wine rounds off your day.
