Holidays with horses

 

Horse-breeding country, the cradle of famous breeds, the Argentan region is a horse stronghold where the Haras du Pin (stud farm), known as the “Versailles of the horse”, is the most famous example.
Our countryside abounds in many private stud farms where you can admire horses galloping freely. If you love this majestic animal, the Argentan region is an ideal place for you to indulge yourself: horse-riding, hacks, racing etc.

The Haras National du Pin (National Stud Farm)


Founded in 1715 by Colbert, this is the most prestigious French stud farm. It is part of the Institution des Haras Nationaux (National stud farms institution), a unique Government organisation with the aim of improving and managing the population of horses.
 
Every year there are races with processions of horses (in Autumn); competitions (eventing, dressage, breeding…) and cultural events (exhibitions, concerts etc). The stud farm is open to the public every day of the year
