Haras de Hus

The Haras de Hus is located in « Petit Mars », a small village next to Nantes. Our stud farm stretches out over 120 hectares of lush pastures and paddock land.
Our facilities include various setups for jumping, dressage and eventing horses, as well as a stud farm. The setup of these facilities is clearly divided between each discipline: jumping horses, dressage horses, breeding horses and young horses in training.
This way, every different entity has its own particular facilities, only sharing the main school and the indoor school. The buildings are made out of wood, which gives a certain character to the complex while keeping it very practical. The breeding horses are kept in spacious stallings.
The Haras de Hus offers about 20 stallions and many foals for sale each year. About 250 horses live on our setup, with a team of 20 people to take care of them, train and produce them. The team of the Haras de Hus is sectioned following the different disciplines and groups, which guarantees us a highly specialized workforce.
In our opinion, a lot of young horses are over produced in their early competition years. They then get to 6 or 7 years old in a sorry state and sometimes miss out on a great career.
We treat the age classes as a training course to help us build up our horses for the bigger sport, rather than an competition in itself.
If some of our horses do succeed in such classes, it means that they were naturally ready to do so. We will not push them as we favor their long term career.
Our main concern is to ensure that our horses are well trained, so that we can guarantee our clients safety and their enjoyment. We believe our horses ride ability will take them to the top of their abilities.
