History

From 1870 until 1999, Haras Nationaux was a branch of the French ministry of agriculture, then it became an independent governmental department[1] managing the twenty two national stud farms.

In 2010, along with the École nationale d'équitation (ENE, the national riding school), it became part of the new Institut Français du Cheval et de l’Equitation (IFCE, French Institute of Horse and Riding).[2]

In 2013 the twenty-two national stud farms were privatized, however IFCE continued to support the studs by paying about 75% of the employee salaries. But in 2019 the IFCE announced it would stop supporting the studs and the salary payments would cease as of 2022.[3]
