Oosting HorseRiding
The Oosting HorseRiding estate in the Sidobre
Sidobre, Tarn, France

A week on horseback, at home with the Oosting family.

A family estate of 20 hectares in the untouched nature of the Sidobre. A horse from our stable that is yours for the week, endless trails and full board, Friday to Friday.

01The estate

Family-run, in the middle of untouched nature

Oosting HorseRiding is set on a 20-hectare estate in the Sidobre, in the Parc Naturel du Haut-Languedoc near Castres. For one week you ride a horse from our stable that is yours for the stay, over endless trails, with guest accommodation and stables on site.

The father of the family started with horses in Belgium in 1985 and moved to France in 2000. In 2006 Jacqueline joined and took over the estate. Since 2015 it has been Oosting HorseRiding as it is today, with just under twenty all-round riding horses that live together in the fields as much as possible. Life here is about calm, good company and the outdoors, with respect for people, animals and nature. The wellbeing of the horses always comes first.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Oosting Horse Riding. Every aspect of the journey exceeded my expectations—from the professionalism and warm hospitality of the Jack line and her family to the exceptional care given to the horses. The riding routes through beautiful forests, charming villages, and breathtaking landscapes made every moment unforgettable.

The horses were calm, well-trained, making the ride enjoyable for riders of different experience levels. This was far more than just a horseback ride. it was an opportunity to connect with nature, appreciate the beauty of the region, and create lasting memories.

I highly recommend Oosting Horse Riding to anyone looking for a truly memorable equestrian adventure. I will certainly be back again.

I had a wonderful week here! The horses are incredible, so sure-footed and well-mannered, a joy to be with. And Jacqueline is truly a fantastic lady: hospitable, funny, and attentive—in short, a wonderful holiday.
Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, wonderful people, horses, dogs, cats...love it!😊

Echt een onvergetelijke week gehad.. veel faciliteiten, het zwembad was een aangename verassing. De paarden hebben royaal beweegruimte.. goede stalling en een gevarieerde omgeving om doorheen te rijden. Het eten verrukkelijk en activiteiten geweldig.
Ik kom hier graag terug!

We had a fantastic week at Oosting! Beautiful location, well-cared-for horses, and great food (vegetarian options were available upon request). Jacqueline is very enthusiastic and incredibly hospitable; we really enjoyed ourselves. The nature is also beautiful; on horseback, you reach places you wouldn't easily get to otherwise. The rest day in between was also very pleasant. Highly recommended!
