Welcome to Écuries de l'Espoir, located just outside La Chapelle-aux-Choux. We created this place with the idea that every visiting horse should find a true moment of rest, in well-maintained fields and a calm setting, far from the hustle and bustle, before continuing their journey with their rider. Our stables and paddocks are carefully maintained, and we’re always available to discuss your companion’s needs, whether for a simple overnight stop or a longer stay. I’ve been involved in the equestrian world for many years, and I like to think that this establishment lives up to its name: here, we take our time, observe the horses, and adapt to their rhythm rather than the other way around. If you’re travelling through our beautiful Sarthe region with your horse or pony, don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’d be delighted to welcome you and show you our little corner of the countryside.
