Welcome to Écuries de l'Espoir, located just outside La Chapelle-aux-Choux. We created this place with the idea that every visiting horse deserves a true moment of rest—with spacious pastures and a calm environment, far from the hustle and bustle, before hitting the road again with their rider. Our stalls and paddocks are meticulously maintained, and we’re always available to discuss your horse’s needs, whether for a simple overnight stay or a longer visit. I’ve been in the equestrian world for many years, and I like to think this facility 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 traveling through our beautiful Sarthe region with your horse or pony, don’t hesitate to reach out; we’d be delighted to welcome you and introduce you to our little slice of countryside.
