RIDING

BRITTANY is an ideal place for riding and trekking, with its gently-rolling hills and attractive countryside. There is an excellent riding centre close to us at Kerlano, near Marzan. They have horses, ponies and Shetland ponies, and take children from four years of age. There is horse-riding, pony-trekking and dressage. One-hour or two-hour hacks are available, through lovely scenery, and they are open all year.
