Pony trekking in the Pyrenees.

Pyrenean Pottoks

The Pottok or Basque Pony is an ancient, small tough pony native to the French Pyrenees. Pottoks still roam free in parts of the Bearn and the Aspe Valley.

You can see free pottok in the mountains around the property. They are rounded up periodically, traditionally on the last Wednesday of January, to be branded and released again or sold at the local markets. Survival of foals is aided by rapid growth to maturity, they reach their adult size when only 1 year old.

Pau Horse Racing

The Concours Complet International de Pau takes place each year (usually in October) and gathers the best riders in the world from more than 15 different countries.
