Haras national de Pompadour, Horse breeding center in Arnac-Pompadour, France.

The National Stud Farm of Pompadour extends over 380 hectares across three municipalities, featuring stables, training facilities, and a medieval castle.

Established in 1760 by Madame de Pompadour under Louis XV's reign, the estate transformed from a medieval fortress into a royal horse breeding institution.

The estate serves as the administrative headquarters of the French Horse and Riding Institute, managing the registration of 51 recognized horse breeds.

The facility hosts over 160 annual events, including six national championships and two international competitions throughout the racing season.

The National Stud Farm maintains specialized facilities for breeding Anglo-Arabian horses, continuing a tradition that began with Napoleon's introduction of Arabian stallions.
