The history of the Giguellerie
The adventure began in 1993 on family farmland in Maison-Saint-Gérard. What started as just a few breeding boxes has been transformed over three decades into a leading veterinary infrastructure. In 2008, the construction of new facilities marked a turning point, now making it possible to host a hundred mares and their foals in a setting designed for their serenity.
A hub for transmission and cooperation
Recognized at the European level (BF10/01 accreditation) since 2010, our center does not just perform technical acts. We have made knowledge sharing a core value. Every year, we train interns from all walks of life and organize group training sessions for our fellow veterinarians. This openness feeds our own rigor by passing on our knowledge, we commit ourselves daily to excellence.
In 2016, the takeover of the Linalux Equins cooperative sealed our desire to work in a network. This synergy between practitioners provides access to cutting-edge analysis tools, optimizing the quality of semen available to breeders and guaranteeing concrete solutions for the fertility of breeding stock.
A welcoming land for all horses
What defines the soul of the Giguellerie is diversity. In our stables, top-level sport stallions stand alongside leisure horses and robust draft horses. For us, there is no such thing as "minor" genetics every breeding project deserves the same veterinary precision and the same respect.
This philosophy of openness is embodied by the presence of the non-profit organization "Au Petit Galop" within our own facilities. Focused on social cohesion, the association helps everyone to "get back in the saddle." This coexistence between sporting performance and social commitment forges our center's identity a high-tech structure that never forgets that the horse is, above all, a life partner.
