Since October, Gaëlle Heluin has run her own business from the Ty-Nadan equestrian center in Locunolé, Finistère, offering mounted archery, carriage rides for families, pony baptisms, dressage lessons and equine therapy, Ouest-France reported.
Heluin, who has been teaching horse riding for fifteen years and has worked at several equestrian centers and stables across Finistère, previously founded her own company, Au concerto des chevaux, in the Landerneau-Daoulas area in 2025. She has since moved to Guilligomarc’h to join her partner and has managed her business from Ty-Nadan since October.
Offering Diverse Equestrian Experiences
Her program spans a wide range of activities for different audiences. She leads mounted rides and forest outings, drives carriage rides aimed at families, and gives pony baptisms to younger children. She also teaches lessons and works on dressage with her students.
Among the more unusual offerings is horseback archery — tir à l’arc à cheval — a discipline that combines control of one’s mount with concentration and precision. She also runs equithérapie, or equine therapy, which uses the relationship with the horse to support people with special needs.

Fifteen Years Across Finistère’s Stables
