The traditional transhumance of pyrenean horses

Description

Sorry, but this trek is full, see you next year...
Pyrenean horse breeders have always been moving their Merens and Castillon horses to the summer pastures in the mountains. This tradition is the guarantee of the authenticity, the agility and the temperament of both breeds.
This event at the beginning of the summer is one of the most important of the Pyrenean culture and is the opportunity for traditional festivals.
We invite you to share this great adventure with our Merens and Castillon horses among the herds.
