Cavall

Felic

Cavall Felic is a private project dedicated to the rehabilitation of sports horses. Due to injuries, they can no longer serve in their original roles. These horses are often very young, and our goal is to rehabilitate, retrain, and provide them with a meaningful purpose. The livelihood of these horses is based on three principles:

  • The horses are carefully integrated into a stable herd structure, allowing them to relearn their natural behaviors and lead a socially intact life. This forms the foundation of life outside of sports.
  • The second stage aims at convalescence and rebuilding according to biomechanical principles and, if necessary, gentle retraining.
  • The introduction and integration into a specific task so that they can grow emotionally stable and secure into their new way of life.

Close companionship with the horses and daily work with them is not just a project but a lifelong heartfelt commitment.

The Horses at

La Bastide

At “La Bastide,” eight horses live with us, having accompanied us in this project for a long time and now having a “forever home” with us. All these horses are rehabilitated, retrained, and have become part of our team. Each of these horses plays a crucial role in the team and helps us to accompany people. We are committed to maintaining the connection between humans and horses according to our fundamental principles, thus fostering understanding of horses worldwide. We offer various opportunities for our guests to step into our world of horses and experience them.

Horses

understanding

Immerse yourself in the world of horses – get in touch and observe them. Learn how a herd is structured, how they communicate, and how they organize themselves. We draw comparisons and ask ourselves how we do the same in return – what our own needs are, how we communicate & are understood. An exciting journey into the world of horses with a lot of self-discovery. Available for individuals or groups. Duration: 2 hours

Leading &

being Led

Work with the horse from the ground and practice the interplay of leading and being led. In the horsemanship lesson, you will learn to have clear intentions, maintain your focus, give impulses at the right moment, and work with ease and joy. This work builds trust in yourself and the horse and strengthens a relationship that can be built upon solidly. Individual work with the horse: 1 hour

Riding &

Enjoying

Ride across fields, through forests, and through the small villages in the area. For experienced riders, we offer guided rides on our horses. Experience the freedom of riding in the picturesque landscape and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Tarn. Various routes and offers are available.
