Equitation "loisir"
NAJAC
Les chevaux que nous utilisons sont des fjords issus de notre élevage, ils vivent en extérieur, ils sont
calmes et sûrs pour les débutants, mais aussi généreux et endurants pour les cavaliers confirmés .
Nous avons une sellerie bien équipée où chaque cheval a son matériel individuel, nous fournissons les
bombes.
Labellisés Centre de Tourisme Equestre nous organisons toute l'année des balades , des randonnées à
la journée ou plus, et des promenades en calèche.
Nous avons crée environ 100km de sentiers en pleine nature autour de la ferme, le plus souvent en forêt,
près de ruisseaux et de rivières; nous adaptons les parcours en fonction de la météo et du niveau des
cavaliers
Ces sorties sont toujours encadrées par des professionnels diplomés (ATE accompagnateur de tourisme
équestre, GTE guide de tourisme équestre, BPJEPS, MATE meneur d'attelage, ou Chef de Caravane pour
l'attelage) qui vous parleront aussi de la nature ou de l'histoire de la région
Pour les tout petits, nous avons des poneys shetland que les parents peuvent mener en main sur un
parcours en forêt.
Nous préparons aussi au passage des Galops pleine nature et au diplôme de MATE meneur d'attelage
Ferme équestre de Daoudou, 12270 Najac - France.

mail: ferme.daoudou @ wanadoo.fr
For what it’s worth, here’s the GOOGLE translation – I laughed.
The horses we use are the fjords from our kennel, they live outdoors, they are calm and safe for beginners, but also
generous and steadfast for experienced riders.
We have a well equipped tack room where each horse has its individual material, we deliver the bombs.
Labeled Equestrian Tourism Centre we organize all year long walks, day hikes or longer, and carriage rides.
We have created approximately 100km of nature trails around the farm, mostly in forests, near streams and rivers, we
adapt the course according to the weather and the level of the riders
These outputs are always supervised by qualified professionals (ATE equestrian tourism guide, tourist guide GTE
equestrian BPJEPS, MATE coupling leader, or chief of the caravan hitch) who will discuss also the nature or the history of
the region
For toddlers, we have Shetland ponies that parents can conduct a hand on forest trails.
We also prepare the way of nature Gallops and degree coupler leader MATE
