EVENT
MEET THE HORSE MEN ...
At the origin of the French horsemanship are the breeders, those who are called the "Men of horse".
Passionate about genetics, fascinated by this powerful animal and its development over the weeks and years, breeders are the guarantors of the quality of our horses and ponies French. If French breeding is now recognized worldwide, if French genetics is sought by the largest livestock in the world, it is primarily thanks to the breeders. Those who select the fathers, pamper the mothers and shape the foals from the first moments of their lives.
Equita Lyon has been honoring these men and women for many years. The breeders and associations welcome, in a warm family atmosphere, the initiated or novice visitors, to present their products, to converse with the riders and to promote their profession.
