La Ferme de Champfahy

The farm is located between Lignières and La Neuveville, on the border between the cantons of Neuchâtel and Bern. Aïna and David offer a variety of activities centred around horses and other animals. Aïna, a professionally trained equestrian instructor, invites you to come and enjoy riding lessons, hacks through the forest and across the Diesse Plateau, show jumping lessons, dressage training, groundwork and carriage driving, as well as the chance to help care for the other animals on our farm. Our lessons can be given in French, German or English.

​

We also offer birthday parties, school trips and group outings, where you can choose between horse rides or other activities. A room is available for a convivial and festive gathering.

​

For horse owners, we offer groundwork sessions up to Parelli Level 2, confidence-rebuilding courses, and targeted work on specific issues that a horse-and-rider partnership may be facing. We also specialise in starting young or green leisure horses under saddle and working with difficult horses.

 

We also collaborate with the Les Baumes stud farm and riding school for group lessons in the indoor arena.

 

Working together with interested winegrowers, we also offer horse-assisted vineyard work (inter-row cultivation with horses).
