Equestrian centers and pony clubs Seine-Et-Marne

This place is reserved for equestrian competitions - stumbling breaks - and other equestrian events. Possibility to practice the winter polo, the winter shape of the game on a ground in sand and with a leather ball. No riding level is required: one of the magic of the polo is to learn to ride horseback by playing. In 2012, the European Pony Championships took place there. The program of competitions, events and activities are online on the website. Also visit the Tourist office - www.fontainebleau-tourisme.com.

This is one of the many boarding stables for private horses in the region. Les Écuries d'Hermières are charming stables, on the historic site of the village, on the edge of the woods with a riding school, an arena and a dozen hectares of meadows where your horses can run free. Your horses have a comfortable box and are particularly well catered for. The owners come to ride their horses and benefit from the facilities to work them or relax on the surrounding footpaths.

Both a private stable and an equestrian centre, this small structure based on leisure and friendly atmosphere takes horses for boarding by providing a paddock, boxes and a meadow. The  Grace stables offer lessons with their own horses. These are individualized for young and old, from beginners to gallop 7 (maximum 3 people). There are also "discovery sessions" as from the age of 18 months, but also for adults for a first privileged contact with horses and ponies.

Among the 700 riding centers in Île-de-France, there are only five or six that specialise in horse and carriage driving. La Ferme du Vieux Château is one of them. It is run by Jacques André, who is well known in the horse and carriage driving world. He offers different formulas at the Stables: from initiation to two or four day rides through the Brie countryside with his Haflingers. You can stay at the Ferme du Vieux Château, or even retain a service for your wedding.

Bruno Delgrange has been specialising in top-of-the-range sports upholstery for more than 40 years. The one that equips the greatest riders has seen know-how recognized by the label Entreprise du patrimoine vivant.

History. Bruno Delgrange, trained at the famous Hermès leather goods store, created his own saddlery in Paris in 1976. As passionate as he is perfectionist, he quickly made a name for himself among riders for whom he creates top-of-the-range custom saddles.

In 1983, he moved to Saint Hilliers in Seine-et-Marne, a town that has since become the brand's headquarters.

Bruno Delgrange supplies the world's greatest riders such as Penelope Leprevost and Eric Lamaze, but also breeders and teachers. Its success has also quickly opened up the international market - Canada, United States, Japan.

In 2010, Bruno Delgrange decided to step down in favour of Mathieu Dessalien, general manager of the Saint Hilliers company, and sold part of his shares to Marco Petrelli, an Italian rider who became the brand's president. Bruno Delgrange remains of course very present for his company and still has the responsibility of a large part of it.

In 2017, moves a few kilometers from Saint Hilliers to Provins.

The products. Tailor-made saddles for show jumping, dressage, eventing, accessories for saddles and resale of second-hand saddles.

Employment. About 20 employees produce about 1,500 saddles each year.
