Restaurant du Haras de la Cense sur Rochefort-En-Yvelines

My first experience at Haras de la Cense this weekend, an exceptional estate dedicated to gentle horsemanship and respect for the horse. It was an equestrian discovery, but also a human and personal one, that happily changed my perspective on the world of horses. A huge thank you to coach Leelou, a graduate of La Cense, whom I highly recommend for the quality of her teaching and her wonderful energy. Thank you also to Bless You for her patience and kindness at the end of my lunge line ❤️

A beautiful, very peaceful place. The horses are gorgeous too. I went on a 2-hour private ride with my boyfriend (thanks to Elsa, our guide, who was lovely 🙏🏼), it was fantastic! Special mention for Maravilha, I absolutely loved her, she's such an adorable horse ❤️🐴

I absolutely do not regret choosing Haras de la Cense to break in my young horse! His progress has been incredible, and I am delighted with the work done! I also completed the "Horse Welfare Certificate" and "Ethology and Equine Science Diploma" courses, which were very enriching! A huge thank you to the entire team for their professionalism, kindness, and their ability to accommodate my deafness. They went above and beyond to find sign language interpreters for the practical sessions! It's a truly accessible place for deaf people, so don't hesitate to register!

We had a wonderful time on the horseback ride. Zoé is a fantastic guide. The only downside is that not all GPS systems easily lead to the location. Plan to arrive a little early. However, the reception staff are available to help you over the phone.

Horse Training and Relationship Workshop: A highly enriching two-day workshop with personalized guidance tailored to each participant's goals and needs. Manuel took the time to handle the horses himself, helping us progress and sharing his knowledge with great teaching skills. The atmosphere was excellent, and the entire team was very welcoming, supportive, and always available to answer our questions. I left this workshop with all the answers I came looking for, and even more. In just two days, you can already feel a real improvement in the relationship and communication between horse and rider. Thank you to the whole team for this wonderful experience, which I highly recommend.

I highly recommend the equine welfare certification offered by Haras de La Cense: in addition to the fascinating subject matter, the training materials provided (videos, slides, and texts) are excellent and facilitate learning. Well done!
