Haras national de Tarbes, Horse stud farm and historical monument in Tarbes, France.
The eight-hectare estate contains Empire-style stables, a saddlery of honor, and centuries-old trees spread throughout the landscaped grounds.
Napoleon established the National Stud Farm in 1806 to supply military horses, and the first stables were completed in 1810 for cavalry requirements.
The facility maintains its equestrian heritage through exhibitions of historical carriages, traditional equipment, and demonstrations of classical riding techniques.
The stud farm welcomes visitors Monday through Friday with guided tours available, and offers free access during the last weekend of each month.
The site houses one of the remaining Ratouin riding schools in France and features architectural elements made from local Payolle marble.
