Haras national du Pin, National stud farm in Le Pin-au-Haras, Normandy, France

The Haras national du Pin is a large stud farm in Normandy with specialized areas for horse breeding, training, and riding facilities. The property includes pastures, stable buildings, and training tracks that all support the farm's operations.

Colbert created the royal studs administration in 1665 to remedy a kingdom-wide horse shortage. The site at Buisson d'Exmes was chosen in 1714 for its pastures and water, and the Saint-Léger stud was transferred there by order of 2 April 1715. Stables went up from 1715 and the first stallions arrived in 1717; the buildings were completed between 1715 and 1730 under Louis XV.

The farm is recognized for its traditional horse training and breeding practices, where visitors can observe the daily work with these animals. The stables and training grounds show how knowledge about horsemanship has been passed down through generations.

The place is best explored on foot, with visitors able to discover different areas of the farm along designated paths. Sturdy footwear is recommended since many paths go through greenery and across varied terrain.

The estate also houses an INRA experimental farm with more than a thousand cattle, alongside the horse stables. Jean de La Varende called the stud "the Equestrian Versailles", and its terraces follow the French formal garden tradition. In 2014 the cross-country and dressage phases of the World Equestrian Games drew over 50,000 spectators to the Hautbois park.
