Services and fees

Formerly held by the Fournier family, the Haras du Grand Chesnaie has earned itself a reputation in West France thanks to the quality and success of its stallions, notably confirmed sires recruited from major Normandy studs.

 

The Grand Chesnaie has newly been taken over this season by two young but experienced associates, Christophe Berthelot and Franck Lamy. The former knows the stud as he used to be the stud groom, while the latter was responsible for a neighbouring breeding enterprise.

The services offered remain the same, ie a complete range.
The 50-hectare stud has 45 stables including 6 foaling boxes. Covering is accompanied by daily gynecological surveillance. 60 - 70 mares foal each spring. Outside the covering season, the stud offers weaning services and sales preparation. The Grand Chesnaie takes mares throughout the year or at livery in season. Transport can be arranged.

Les services seront les mêmes qu'auaparavant, c'est à dire complets.
Le haras, doté de 45 boxes dont 6 de poulinage, étendu sur 50 hectares, accompli en effet toutes les tâches de l'élevage. L'étalonnage est complété par un suivi gynécologique quotidien. 60 à 70 poulinages sont assurés au printemps. Hors saison de saillie, le haras propose d'effectuer les sevrage, ou encore la préparation pour les ventes, notamment des trotteurs à Vincennes. Le Grand Chesnaie prend des juments à l'année, ou en pension pendant les chaleurs. Les transports sont possibles. Ainsi que les mises sous lumières.
