History
editFrom 1870 until 1999, Haras Nationaux was a branch of the French ministry of agriculture, then it became an independent governmental department[1] managing the twenty two national stud farms.
In 2010, along with the École nationale d'équitation (ENE, the national riding school), it became part of the newly created Institut français du cheval et de l'équitation (IFCE, French Institute of Horse and Riding).[2]
In 2013 the twenty-two national stud farms were privatized, however IFCE continued to support the studs by paying about 75% of the employee salaries. But in 2019 the IFCE announced it would stop supporting the studs and the salary payments would cease as of 2022.[3]
Many of the historic state studs of Europe formed together as the European State Studs Association (ESSA), formed in 2008 and headquartered at Marbach Stud in Germany. As of 2022, ESSA included 30 national stud farms from 15 European countries, including seven prior Haras Nationaux studs from France, including Le Lion d'Angers, Le Pin, Pau-Gélos, Pompadour, Rosières-aux-S., Saint Lô, and Uzès.[4]
