😎 Afterwork chilling time under the new mist foggers 😴🚿 Following the high temperatures which struck our country these past weeks, we do everything necessary in ensure our horses comfort and safety : schedule arrangement, shower before and after the rides… and mist foggers at home !
🤔 At first, we thought they would need an adaptation period to the noise, but it turned out they absolutely didn’t ! As soon as we fixed them, they rushed and took a nap under 😁

Two new baby-girls have join our team late May and are now growing fast 🍼
🌞🥵 As most of you know, France has been under massive heat waves late June and also during this week : We adjusted our programs with earlier morning rides only, and visiting of castles temperate interiors during hot hours, to preserve horses welfare and riders comfort. Riders can then enjoy some good time in the hotels pools at the end of the day 🏊‍♂️
💦 We also bought horses 20 meters of misters for the stable this week and they loved it instantly. We certainly will have to buy some more 😄🥰 Video to be coming soon !

“- Why are you galloping again ?
- Don’t know… just following him…
- And why is he galloping again ?
- No idea !
- So… what about taking a break and having a snack ?
- Works for me !”

Happy New Year everyone !! 🥰
