A wild peninsula running between the St. Lawrence estuary and the Bay of Chaleur, the Gaspésie hosts a tiny but evocative equestrian presence built around trail riding in the village of Percé, a stone's throw from the iconic rock.

About horseback riding in Gaspésie
The Gaspésie juts out into the Atlantic at the eastern edge of Quebec, with sea cliffs, the Chic-Chocs mountains, and fishing villages clinging to the coast. Horses are rare here but deeply tied to the landscape: 1 listing catalogued, in Percé — a stone's throw from the iconic rock — offers trail riding as a slow, immersive way to take in the territory, well off the main tourist routes. It's a tiny scene with outsized character, leaning on the experience of being out on the land rather than the breadth of disciplines, and one that speaks as much to travellers passing through as to the handful of local riders who call the peninsula home.
