CHEVAL & CAMPAGNE

By staying in one of our accommodations, you will enjoy privileged access to our horse farm

Cheval & Campagne looks forward to welcoming you to Ferme Les Neiges. As lovers of nature, adventure and horses, we realized that we would be happy to share our passions with others, BUT … not in the traditional way.

We want to provide a magical and special moment for you, your friends and / or your family, the ultimate outdoor experience! In addition to its breathtaking view, our farm offers a multitude of flexible activity options depending on your interests.

Ferme Les Neiges is not an equestrian center.

It’s a calm and natural place… a wild beauty!

TYPICAL HORSE RIDING EXPERIENCE

We have 8 horses that are looking forward to getting out for a good day on the trails (June to October).

They have all different personalities, just like us.

Depending on your experience, personality and physics we will find the best match ever! Understanding the horse and its personality is important to enjoy the ride, but also to get a connection with the animal. Only very few sports can offer you that feeling.

Note: Only children above 12 years old can do trail riding in the woods.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction and meeting to get to know each other.

Let’s talk about your experience with horses and your expectations.

KIDS

    • We do not give any riding lessons
    • No child aged 12 and under can go on the trail
    • Family package available for young children (brushing, sitting on the horse, merry-go-round)

PREPARATION

Preparing the horse is a part of the experience.

You will have to brush them, help us to saddle up, etc.

Learn about the equipment as well as about the horse and their way of understanding us.

RIDING

We will head out on a trail for a total ride of 60 minutes. Depending on your experience and the comfort zone, we will choose the best trail and speed for all of us.

We won’t be crossing any rivers nor will be racing over the fields. We may trot, but mostly we will enjoy the easy pace of the horses.

AGRICULTURE ACTIVITIES

Ferme les Neiges is our farm established in 2003. In the beginning as a Boer goat farm as well as slowly but surely taking control over the land and forest after years of being abandoned.

Lisa and Patrice are passionate about their farm, the harvest, the forest and animals. Sharing with others and offering a warm welcome to visitors is in their DNA. And by having years of event management experience in their backpack helps to manage the unpredictable and constant development! The owners are committed to the impact of their activities on tourism and the positive effects that create jobs and prosperity. Volunteering and social inclusion are inseparable components of the owners’ vision of their past and future projects.

OUR MISSION

    • Develop an agro-touristic destination with local impact
    • Optimize the farm and forest to continue growth
    • Adjust the offer to be complementary to other agro-touristique destinations
    • Encourage the connection between the humans and animals and nature.

forestry program

Ferme Les Neiges is an active member of the Groupement forestier de Québec-Montmorency Inc and is certified Forest Producer.

    • Since the acquisition of the property, more than 2,000 trees have been planted on the land and a planned cut is made to create new access paths and enhance our forest.
    • We use the process of progressive seeding cut, or gardening cutting which aims to harvest selected trees individually or in small groups from a forest in order to improve the stand.
