Domaine Equestre

What Domaine Equestre does

Domaine Equestre des Grands Pins (operating as Domaine Equestre, DEGP, Centre Equestre de Vidauban, and Equi Paradis) is a privately held equestrian complex located at 1745 Chemin des Grands Pins, Vidauban, France, founded in February 2006 by Bernadette Brune. The facility spans approximately 70 hectares in Provence and is organized into three operational zones: a sale and livery yard (72 individual stables, 30 paddocks with shelters, 3 solariums, a covered 8-horse walker, lunging ring, round pen, and an ultramodern 65x25m indoor school), a competition zone (three Bordsol arenas of 90x60m, 80x50m, and 100x40m with no-shadow lighting, capacity for 600 temporary competition stables, a 900m trotting track, and covered dining for 1,000 guests), and the Equi Paradis riding school for ages 3 and up. The core technology is physical infrastructure rather than software, with no API, mobile app, or digital platform disclosed.

The company generates revenue across five streams: (1) livery (boarding) services starting from €550 per month on subscription/recurring terms, (2) one-time horse sales of named dressage and show jumping horses (Falka MHB, Déborah 83, First Champion, Lord Fenner S) and stallions (Valeron, E.H Kasimir TSF, Spirit of the Age, Di Magic OLD, Tolegro), (3) competition entry fees for hosted CSO and dressage events including the European Dressage Championship FEI and Vidauban Dressage Festival, (4) professional training and lessons (e.g., CSO weekends with Hubert Lerat), and (5) Equi Paradis riding school fees. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website, phone (+33 4 94 73 48 85), and email, with light partner marketing through Selleria Equipe and Dynavena.

The customer base is split between competitive equestrian riders (dressage and show jumping, regional to international), recreational horse enthusiasts and families (through Equi Paradis), and prospective horse buyers. The company is founder-owned, has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional backing, and operates with approximately 11 employees. Competitive positioning rests on premium location, scale of physical infrastructure, and the founder's international equestrian network and event-hosting pedigree.

Direct peers

• Spruce Meadows: World-class show jumping venue in Calgary, Canada, hosting the Spruce Meadows 'Masters' and other top-tier tournaments. Comparable to Domaine Equestre's role hosting the European Dressage Championship (FEI 2015) — both compete for international CSO/dressage riders and monetize venue + hospitality.
• Bolesworth International: Cheshire (UK) equestrian estate hosting international show jumping competitions together with permanent training and stabling facilities. Comparable to Domaine Equestre as an estate-based commercial venue combining FEI competition hosting with year-round livery and training.
• Pôle International du Cheval Longines-Deauville: Major Normandy-based equestrian complex offering international competition venues, stabling and event hospitality. Most direct French peer to Domaine Equestre's competition-and-livery hybrid model, competing for the same FEI competition calendar and trainer/rider base.
• World Equestrian Center: Operator of large equestrian campuses in Ohio and Florida offering year-round shows, lodging, permanent and show stabling, plus horse-sales activity. Closest US analog to Domaine Equestre's integrated livery + competition + sales model in a single destination complex.
• Hickstead (All England Jumping Course): Iconic British show jumping venue that hosts international CSO events alongside stabling and on-site training. Comparable to Domaine Equestre's competition zone — both depend on FEI-level event hosting plus permanent event infrastructure.
• Andalucía Sunshine Tour: Multi-week winter show jumping tour in southern Spain attracting European riders for warm-up competitions and training. Comparable as a Mediterranean-climate equestrian complex combining competition hosting, livery services and trainer clinics — a likely head-to-head competitor for southern European riders.
• Tryon International Equestrian Center: Premier multi-discipline equestrian resort in North Carolina (USA) with competition venues, permanent stabling, training arenas and event hospitality. Directly comparable to Domaine Equestre's combination of FEI-level competition hosting, livery and training infrastructure, though at materially larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Cadre Noir — École Nationale d'Équitation (Saumur): Prestigious French national riding school in Saumur, part of IFCE, focused on classical dressage and teaching rather than commercial livery. Comparable to Domaine Equestre as a high-prestige French equestrian institution, but operates under a public/military mandate rather than a commercial model.
• Longines Global Champions Tour (GCT) venues: Series of premium FEI show jumping host venues across Europe (Cannes, Rome, Monaco, etc.). Not an operating competitor but the calendar of events Domaine Equestre competes with for placement and rider attention — useful benchmark for what 'premium Mediterranean competition hosting' requires at scale.

Regional players

• Haras National du Pin: Historic French national stud in Normandy operating stallion services, breeding, training and equestrian events. Comparable to Domaine Equestre's stallion roster and horse-sales activity, but operates as a state-owned heritage/breeding venue rather than private commercial stable.
