20 years ago, the newly-weds Nelly and Pierre de la Guillonnoière began their racing and breeding adventure on the family land. They soon made themselves noticed with the first produce of their first stallion, Tourangeau, and gradually built up their stallion ranks and a breeding enterprise with emphahsis on AQPS.

Their star stallion, the much-missed April Night, produced their most famous jumper Ilare as well as two talented performers in 2008, Quirta and Quristine.

The Haras de la Russelière is set on the edge of flooding pastures and is therefore enriched by the alluvium soil of the Sarthe and the Loir.

During the covering season, the veterinary clinic of Meslay-du-Maine spends three mornings per week at the stud to conduct gynecological examinations of mares.
