HIPPODROME DES ACACIAS-VIC EN BIGORRE
Go there and contact
The Acacias-Vic en Bigorre racecourse in Tarbes is one of a kind. It is the only racecourse in the Hautes-Pyrénées, apart from Laloubère, to host gallop races. However, its future is uncertain and a solution must be found before the summer of 2012, failing which the racecourse risks closure. Meetings have already been held with various local players, such as the principal of Lycée Jean-Monnet and the farm manager, as well as representatives of the region and local landowners. The region considers that this matter should be handled by local authorities, and that the long-term future of the racecourse will depend on the financial and human resources required for its upkeep. Several avenues of financing are being explored, notably with the regional and national racecourse federations, as well as the Conseil du Cheval. Further meetings are planned to discuss a possible transfer of responsibilities.
