Description of the breeding environment

 


Breeding conditions

The horses are bred and raised at la Salvetat Peyralès, in the Aveyron département, on a 40-hectare farm in
the Ségala district, on well-kept, naturally fertilised meadows and pastures.

To preserve the hardiness and endurance of our horses, we also have a further 60-hectares
of rangelands located on the Lot.

Mare and her foal  of the Barthas'stud farm

Our horses alternate between these pastures where they graze freely and those of the Ségala where they are given supplementary feed.

It is indeed our belief that the best way of building up the qualities of our horses is by the biodiversity of the flora.

Endurance horses

Preparing the horses for competitive endurance

We break in our foals ourselves when they reach the age of 3 or 4 depending on their maturity.

Between the ages of 5 and 6, the horses are taken out on the trail rides we organise.

Specific training for endurance begins at the age of 6.

 

Training for endurance

To develop their endurance skills, the steep gradients of the Viaur Valley are ideal.

In addition, we take our horses to the sandy beaches of Saintes Maries de la Mer for workouts at a canter.

We then qualify all our horses in competitive rides suited to their age.

Our best performers are then entrusted to high level riders, in particular Jean-Philippe Francès, World Endurance Champion by team in 2002.
