Special features

The centre’s main attraction is the access to the beach, which stretches over 25 km, via secure tracks (30 min walk). The advantage of the sand is the extra soil, without resonance. The ground is much more flexible for the horses’ limbs, and there is the possibility to cool them down and relax them by going for a walk in the water. The beach is less monotonous than the track. The horses can go galloping, ending with a sea bath, ideal for recuperation. A natural and life-saving balneotherapy! A natural and fun way to tone up muscles and tendons.

Accommodation on site for the grooms in front of the boxes (65 beds – 16 showers)

Possibility of accommodation for riders in the three hotels***- Catering on site

Fibre Internet – Free Wifi – Secure truck park

Since 2001, the International Show Jumping Competitions ***, organised in Spring, allow riders to prepare their competition season.

The French team has often sent its best riders such as Pénélope Leprévost, Roger-Yves Bost, Simon Delestre, Kévin Staut, to the CSI *** in Hardelot, for the preparation of big events. In 2010, the year of Philippe Lejeune’s coronation, the rider came to prepare Vigo d’Arsouilles on the Hardelot track by finishing 2nd in the Grand Prix. The Belgian and Dutch teams are still in Hardelot.

The International Equestrian Federation congratulated the quality of the organisation of these show jumping competitions***.
