When you visit La Chataigneraie you will meet the family of thoroughbred horses The horses have directly descended from "Lady Sunshine" who originated in England in the early 1970's. She was a tremendous performer over jumps and won numerous competions in very many different equestrian disciplines. |
Several of her grandchildren are now "famous" in England as winners of show jumping and three day events at national and international level including Phoebus and Venerable.
You will find her grandchildren happily grazing on the fields of La Chataigneraie and being trained ready to be sold for their future careers in the equestrian sport horse world.
The countryside in the area has many wonderful rides in the forests where you may be lucky enough to see some of the numerous deer, wild boar and the abundance of birds of prey.
