Welcome to

Situated 40 minutes from the city of
Bordeaux our small and exclusive
Equestrian Centre.
'exciting & inspirational teaching'
'horses you can only dream of riding..........'
just some of the ways our guests
describe their experience here.

Cure Bourse -
The Gite
The Gite

Seen here negotiating the famous Derby Bank at Hickstead, one of your instructors, Johnny Harris, ex-international showjumper and BSJA accredited coach.

Explore the site & see    what we can offer you!

Just 1 hour & 20 minutes flight from the UK - you can be in the glorious
Bordeaux Wine region
of SW France.

Accommodation.
The traditional Girondine farmhouse has been totally renovated to
bring the property up to date and the nearby gite refurbished & modernised.
The lovely pool area gives plenty of space to stretch out & enjoy the sun, there
is a practise golf area and a large private garden where you can take a sunset
stroll or simply sit and relax.
The evenings are a social affair - a chance to get to know everyone & chat over a delicious home cooked meal, with - of course - a selection of local wines!

The riding
We have a number of experienced ex-competition horses chosen for their
abilities and easy-going nature.
Instructors Johnny & Jackie Harris will inspire you -
their enthusiastic & stimulating tuition will leave you wanting more!
We offer structured training holidays or long weekends for all levels of rider -
whether you are an experienced rider looking to sharpen your competition performance, a group of adults looking for an educational & fun break with
some time to relax.
Maybe you are a couple wanting to ride and then spend time exploring
this fabulous region, or a family with older children looking to try something new. (Complete beginners welcome)
We also have lovely ponies of all capabilities suitable for smaller adults and for children - the perfect family holiday.

Any non-riders in the family?
Don't worry, there is so much to do and see in this region of France that you won't have time to fit it all in!
Aquitaine is world famous for its culture - taste Bordeaux wines at local vineyards, sample freshly caught seafood in Lacanau and Arcachon or tee off in the warm sunshine at one of the many beautiful golf courses.

Riding and Relaxation - who could ask for more?
