Historique
It all started in 2016 when Estelle Almy created the first association in France to promote the Trotteur Français in equestrian endurance.
Very attached to this breed that is often neglected and devalued, she created the 1st associative stud farm under the 1901 law in 2017.
The purpose of this association is to welcome, care for and protect French trotters who are at the end of their career in trotting races. In fact, rare are the owners of racing trotters who are concerned about the fate of their horse once it is retired (very often between 3 and 7 years old). The main goal of the association is then to prevent them from "ending up in the wrong truck" and to educate the public about this cause.
To continue this momentum, in 2019 she opened a refuge in her stud farm to accommodate horses that were mistreated, abandoned, or without owners. Faced with the number of abandonments and cases of mistreatment encountered, Estelle Almy decided to open her refuge to all equine breeds. The main goal is to put them back into an adoptive family over the long term.

Save , Care and Protect are the three words that sum up Estelle Almy's work through her association and in her stud farm .
