A bit of history...

The Cadre Noir is an equestrian display team based in the city of Saumur in western France . The troop was founded aft the fall of the Napoleon Empire in 1828, its aim was to form an elite horse squad and the military use of their horses. The expression "Cadre Noir" got its name from the black uniforms worn by the instructors. The next century was determined by the appearance of horse sports and the mechanization of the army, but by then the Cadre Nour had already become a national treasure. After hobby riding and equestrian competitions gained ground, the French State formed the National French Horse School under the guardianship of the Ministry of sports. The horse officers of the Cadre Noir have been continuing their mission of teaching the professionals of competition and hobby riding as civilians since 1972. They dressage their horses according to the French conception characterized by ease and fineness.

As we all know, important decisions are always made by the white table. For this reason we offer the opportunity for the participants in the VIP section next to the riding square to entertain guests in an elegant way.
