THE HARAS DE DRESSAGE
“GIRL POWER”, a slogan that encourages and celebrates women’s empowerment, independence, confidence and strength and a fundamental value at Château de Fontaine.
From founder Bolette having four children of her own to welcoming between 15 and 25 foals each year, motherhood and strong women are definitely very significant at the Haras. Our Girl Power comes in the form of our Supermodel breeding Mares. It has been proven again and again that the mare has more influence over the offspring than the Stallion and we strive to put the mare in the spotlight for a change.
We specialise in breeding dressage horses of the highest standard, from elite sport mares currently competing. Our resident mare, Wendy de Fontaine, a magnificent black super- model with eight foals to her name, won team gold and individual silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside the legendary Isabell Werth.
While playing the fields at the Estate, in a region offering some of the best conditions in European horse breeding, the youngsters undergo careful selection while receiving the very best and loving care under the watchful eyes of our stable manager, Jérôme Pichereau, graduated from Haras du Pin, and his qualified staff.
A celebration of joie de vivre, re-discovering the history of the century old Estate to bring back the distinct and exciting warm scent of horses, softly blending with the richness of leather, apples, cider and timber; evoking and creating memories at the very same time.
