Buying a racehorse
You set your criteria and your budget. We shortlist on pedigree and conformation, then buy on your behalf, at auction or by private sale. - 02
Selling a racehorse
We value your horse against comparable sales, choose its sale route and present it to the buyers in our network, in France and abroad. - 03
Racehorse management
The trainer runs the daily work. We follow the horse’s training, build its race programme with the trainer and report back to you. - 04
Breeding and mating advice
Mare, stallion, produce: we advise our clients on their matings, and on transport, nutrition and equestrian property.
