At Écuries de Bel-Air, in Saint-Sauvant, every arriving horse finds its place in a calm, green setting, far from the hustle and bustle, where time moves to the rhythm of trail rides and well-done work. I’m Soledad Spiteri Sarry, and I love welcoming both passing riders and those who stay, because a stopover or boarding is above all about trust: the trust you place in someone who will care for your companion as if it were their own. Here, the stalls are clean, the pastures generous, and there’s always someone to keep an eye on things, offer reassurance, or just chat about horses over coffee in the morning. If you’re looking for a place to set down your gear and let your horse relax for a few days or more, know that Bel-Air’s doors are wide open, and Saint-Sauvant has some lovely surprises for those who take the time to stop.
