Our Stud Farm - Purebred Arabians for competitive endurance

Breeding - a passionate interest and a profession

Christian Quet - Eleveur de chevaux d'endurance


I first came to La Salvetat Peyralès to buy horses but was captivated the uniqueness of the Viaur Valley. I ended up buying the Barthas farm that overlooks the valley in 1981.

That is when I established my own stud farm and developed our trail riding activity.

I competed in my first national-level endurance ride in 1986 at Florac. More than just an experience, this was a revelation to me – it was the beginning of a passion for this discipline.

As early as 1987, I started to choose sires for my mares with a view to producing endurance horses. I began to select these partbred Arab mares on the basis of their stamina and hardiness.

Exceptional blood lines

Exceptional blood lines

We are now breeding more and more purebred Arabians, in particular with mares from the ARCA line, one of the best among purebred Arabian lines.

The adult progeny of these foundation mares have now all been placed in national and international endurance events, in some cases as winners.

Promising progeny

Promising progeny

We have now bred many promising horses that we are gradually putting through their paces to reach the national level. If you wish to purchase a horse for competitive endurance with excellent pedigrees (sired by Persik, Arsew, Nichem, Dhaman, Diarex, Zulus) and out of performer dams or second dams,

... contact us to visit our stud farm and see our stock.

In addition to being owners-breeders, we also buy foals and young horses with promising pedigrees to enhance our gene pool and discover new performers. We raise them and prepare them for competition with our own foals.
