During the daily morning works, the horses gallop on two sand tracks, a 1500m (7.5f) one and another of 1650m (8f1/4), both fully irrigated and including a drainage system. The natural sand of the tracks (pure silica) combined with a natural drainage quality of the under soil enable us to use the tracks all year long. These tracks are harrowed 4 times/day at the least, and sand is added regularly.
A trotting track is also available for small work, as well as a recently built jump track.

The training centre includes wooded areas where horses can relax peacefully after working or during non-cantering days. Various small paddocks are moreover available to turn horses out.
Horses are kept in a safe, tranquil and comfortable environment. Buildings consist of two major barns and an English-type yard. We have two horse walkers for 10 and 6 horses, one used for colts, the other for fillies.
Feeding is based on recommendations of internationally renowned nutritionists.
