CHAOUCHAOUA STUD FARM

Notice to horse riding enthusiasts, this is the most important stud farm in Algeria, which has seen the birth of Arab thoroughbred stallions and barbs at the origin of famous equine lines. Originally, the stud was created in 1877 in order to select and produce stallions for the colonial army. Not far from the stud farm, some barely identifiable ruins testify to the existence of Tahert, destroyed in 908, which was the first capital of the Ibadites, orthodox Muslims led by the Persian Ibn Rostom, the founder of the Rostomid dynasty.
