From beach rides to treks on the heath, Brittany promises an unforgettable time as you explore some of its 2000 kilometres of bridle paths (signposted with orange markers making it easy to find your way on the Equibreizh trail). The diversity of its scenery, its myths and legends and its mild climate make Brittany a unique place, ideal for discovering on horseback.

At each stop there is a special welcome waiting horse and rider
In order to offer the best possible service to riders and horses, accommodation is available every 25 to 30 km ranging from comfortable hotel to campsite, gîte d'étape (hostel) and farmhouse bed and breakfast. Most offer meals, all are located close to bridle ways and are easily accessible on horseback. The horses are provided with hay and fresh or dried food and spend the night in a field or sometimes loose box.
