Our installations

Dressage Boarding
The installations

Everything here has been conceived to best respect the horses' well-being :

The stalls
The size of the stalls for working horses corresponds to their build as they measure 4 meters by 3.5 meters, that is, a total of 14 square meters so as to make them as comfortable as possible.
The stables are divided by a 3.5 meter-wide corridor that allows foals and entire horses to be handled safely.
The tacking up and shower area has a rubber floor so as to limit any risk of slipping.

The arena
Just next to the stables, the arena is designed according to the official Olympic measurements of 60 meters by 20 meters.
The sand is adapted to the horses' regular work and is sprinkled with water daily.
Lighting allows us to work at any time.
With a pine forest on its border, our arena is sheltered from the Mistral wind and so offers ideal working conditions.

The lunging ring
It is surrounded by a 1.6 meter high wall and is equipped with very good quality sand that is watered every time it is used.
20 meters wide , it offers safe lunging conditions while preserving the horses' joints.

The paddocks
Every horse in our stables has an individual paddock in which he is released every day after his working session and where he has enough food and water for the day.
The fences are electrified by wires 1.80 meters from the ground, on all four sides..

Breed history and origin of the Hanoverian horse
The Hanoverian horse has its roots in the XVII th century Hanover (Germany) , capital of Lower Saxony. At the time there was a demand for good saddle horses for the army, selection then was initiated. These horses also had to be elegant and beautiful to become high-class coach horses.
In 1714, Georges Louis, Elector of Hanover, became king of England under the name of Georges I. He imported Hanoverian Horses to draw the Royal coaches.
In 1735, George II, King of England, son of George I, founded the State Stud at Celle, a place located approximately 40 kilometers from Hanover in the Lower Sax lander. The selective breeding of the Hanoverian horse was initiated at that time : the Hanoverian mares were crossbred with Holsteiner stallions. The results were heavy general purpose horses that were needed at that time. Later the breed was refined with pure-breed Arab and other thoroughbreds, producing very good light saddle and driving horses robust and strong enough for agricultural work.
Before the Napoleonic wars there were more than a hundred stallions at the Stud at Celle but many of them were slaughtered, leaving only thirty alive by the end of the wars. The breeding had to be resumed by crossbreeding the Hanoverian mares with Mecklenburg and pure-breed stallions. By the middle of the XIXth century, the Hanoverian horse had become a very pleasant saddle horse : much lighter and very alert but less suitable for agricultural work. The breeding was adapted to again produce a strong powerful horse suitable for farm work.
As a consequence of World War II, most old type saddle and driving breeds such as the Hanoverian horse declined in numbers. The mechanization of agriculture contributed even further to this decline. In order to preserve the breed, once again the Hanoverian mares were crossbred with several other pure-breed Arab and Trakehner stallions.
Thus the Hanoverian horse also became a very good saddle horse for equestrian sport derbies, becoming refined, athletic and harmonious. His basic qualities of agricultural horse were preserved, giving the Hanoverian horse steadiness, fortitude and sturdiness.
Today, the Hanoverian horse is an excellent international equestrian competition horse, regularly ranking at the top primarily in dressage tests, jumping or horse trial events.

Some famous Hanoverian Horses
Deister, three times European champion in jumping.
Gigolo, won many titles between 1990 and 2000 in both German and international dressage competitions with his rider Isabell Werth (Ger.) including in World Cup and Olympic Games. Today retired Gigolo lives in the meadows.
For Pleasure, a stallion, won many trophies for jumping with his riders Marcus Ehning and formerly Lars Nieberg. Now retired, he procreates.
Satchmo, currently ridden by Isabell Werth in dressage competitions, Satchmo is both individual and team Olympic Champion.
Salinero, dressage Olympic Champion in 2004 with Anky van Grunsven as a rider.
