Campfire and soup

Not in the mood to cook on your arrival? Then a campfire meal with soup might be a good alternative.If you do not feel like shopping or cooking, then opt for a nutritious meal soup. This is served in a Hungarian Bográc (cooking pot), hanging over a campfire. When it rains, the cooking pot will be placed in the dining room, where it is also nice to stay.
Sorts of soup are ... pumpkin, Asian chicken, Harira (Moroccan soup), Breton bean or fish soup, pork and pizza soup.
 

The soup is served with baguette from a French baker. There will also be carafes with water. Even the dishes are taken care of :-)

Kids on site

We are frequently asked about activity opportunities for children.
Under the guidance of you as adults,
Children can endlessly be building huts, make dams in the stream,
look for ants, little pier, gnomes and elves,
enjoy the wind in their hair,
the sun on their face and the clouds in the sky.

For them, it is also possible to go with Vera (resident) visiting the sheep.

Do you love horses?
Do you want to experience what it is like to ride or handle a horse with a soft and gentle touch? See how much a horse can teach us? And what about doing this all outdoors, not at a riding school?

Then continue reading,  this is all possible at Chateau Cortils!

Maybe you can see them standing next to the driveway as you enter Chateau Cortils. A beautiful herd of 6 horses! The horses are being kept as natural as possible. Meaning they have much space and live outside 24/7. Because of their multifunctional fur they can keep them selves dry and warm even when the weather is really bad.

My name is Enoah, and I invite you to get to know me and my horses!
Everybody is welcome, children of every age, adults, also if you have a disability. 

Together we will get the horses and prepare for the riding with plenty of time to get the know them, for cuddles and brushing, we are going to have a walk/ride outside in the forest or fields.

Who is Enoah?

As long as she can remember, Just like many others, Enoah was into horses. She was always very happy when she could visit her great-uncle. He had a farm with cows and a little pony. 

When the family went out for a walk she was allowed to ride that pony. She loved this very much. This was her first experience with horse riding. 

Even when she was just 5 years old and didn’t went there a lot. She always remembered how much she enjoyed these moments.

Outside in the fresh air, the feeling to be a team with the horse and goin into the world together.

At the age of 8, Enoah went for riding lessons at riding school”De Hoven” in Rimburg.
An unique little riding school where she is very grateful for. Here they taught her more then just riding a horse. Their lessons where about communication, learning to understand each other and being gentle with the horses.

Here she got lessons for over 6 years.

After that she chose more often to ride outdoors on horses from different owners. 

Until she got her own care horse Bibo in 2014. Because of her she developed her own way of taking care of and riding horses. With Bibo the lessons had been started. Enoah is very grateful and happy with the sweet Bibo who is still part of the herd and for her age (27 years old!) very healthy with a young mind set.

Through different courses and especially her own horses, Enoah continues with learning. For example: a year for Horse behavioral trainer that she followed at 2Moons. And recently she got her license to ride a carriage.

You don’t have any experience? Or you find it a bit scary?
That is no problem at all. We do everything on your speed and adapt the lesson to your wishes.

Most of the time I give lessons 1 person at a time so I have my full attention for you. But it is certainly possible to come with 2 people if there is more experience.
If you have no experience and still want to join with another person? No problem, we can take what we like to call horse walks. Were you and the other person take turns to ride on the horse. 

For more information or questions please send an email to Enoah or check the Facebook/Instagram page Paardrijden bij Enoah.
