Horse<br />
When the Jura is mentioned, you often or even spontaneously think of pine trees, pastures and ... horses. Is this really true? When you set off<br />
to discover this region, you very quickly realise that the clichés are real.<br />
A number of breeders also offer treks on horseback: one hour for beginners, a day or a week with a bivouac for more experienced riders.<br />
Children are welcome on the farms during the summer and take part in equestrian camps making the most of the gentle, pleasant surroundings<br />
of the Franches-Montagnes area.<br />
You can also go on horse-drawn carriage rides, mostly in groups, for two hours at the most, or set off in a caravan for a few days, mostly for<br />
families.<br />
To conclude this brief overview of what has to be called an equestrian paradise, one mustn’t forget the many equestrian gîtes offering accommodation<br />
to riders so they can discover the Franches-Montagnes equestrian network with over 150 km of marked trails (www.aref.ch ).<br />
