Departure from Clavé (Deux-Sèvres)
Ce parcours comporte des chemins variés, assez peu de route.
Il est à faire plutôt en été, automne (chemins assez humides).
Il faut soit des poneys aguerris, soit être prêt à quitter sa monture pour lui montrer le passage en 2 ou 3 endroits.
Il n'y a qu'1 ou 2 chemins où le galop est possible.
Beaucoup de pas, du trot de temps à autre.
À éviter les après-midis en week-end du fait de la présence de piétons autour du lac à Clavé.
