Poney Club de Presinge

What Poney Club de Presinge does

Poney Club de Presinge, formally Manège et Poney Club de Presinge, is a sole proprietorship operating a single-site equestrian center located at Route de Presinge 137, 1243 Presinge, approximately 15 kilometers from Geneva, Switzerland, bordering the Forest of Jussy. Founded in 2000 and operated by proprietor Françoise Clostre with a team of 6, the center provides a complete riding facility featuring a large indoor arena (manège), a small arena, an outdoor riding area (carrière), and livery stables. It is led educationally by Aurélie Schaller Penven and serves a predominantly local Geneva-area market through direct-to-consumer channels (walk-ins, phone, email, website, Facebook, and Instagram), with word-of-mouth as the primary acquisition channel.

The company's revenue is built on a diversified set of nine service streams grouped across recurring subscriptions and one-time experiences. Recurring subscription streams include weekly group and individual riding lessons (e.g., 155 CHF/month for one lesson/week, 300 CHF/month for two), full livery boarding for horses and ponies (800–1,100 CHF/month depending on box size), plus a 50 CHF annual registration fee. One-time and seasonal streams include pony baptêmes (10 CHF per 15 minutes), birthday parties (20 CHF per child), woodland promenades (60 CHF per ride), school holiday stages/camps (300–550 CHF per week), and multi-day Lamoura forest ride camps (850 CHF for 5 days). Two specialized professional-services streams round out the model: Hippotherapy-K (therapeutic riding for neurological patients, delivered by physiotherapist Isabel Mera using the Künzle method and reimbursed via Swiss Lamal/AI insurance) and Equicoaching (corporate team development delivered in partnership with management consultancy Marque et Valeurs).

The business is deeply embedded in the regional equestrian ecosystem through affiliations with the Fédération Nationale Suisse d'Equitation (FNCH), Fédération Française d'Equitation (FFE), Fédération Genevoise d'Equitation (FGE), Poney-sport Romand, and the Swiss Hippotherapy Association, enabling preparation pathways for FFE Galops 1-7, FSSE Brevets, and Licences. Additional channel reach is provided by mobile pony visits (Animation établissements) to elderly care facilities within the Geneva region. The underlying technology infrastructure is minimal — no proprietary platform, no APIs, no AI — and bookings are handled manually via phone, email, and walk-in. The business carries no external investment, no parent company, and no disclosed financials.

Regional players

• Centre équestre de Haute-Savoie: French equestrian centers in the Haute-Savoie/Ain departments just across the Swiss border, serving clients who live near Geneva. Comparable offerings (FFE-affiliated lessons, pony activities, livery) but located in France rather than Switzerland.
• Reitstall Zentralschweiz / regional Swiss riding schools: Network of regional Swiss equestrian centers (e.g., Reitschulen in Zürich, Bern, Luzern) offering comparable riding lessons, livery, and holiday camps in other Swiss cantons. They do not directly compete in Geneva but represent the same subscription-based riding-school model across Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Cadre Noir de Saumur: Prestigious French national riding school affiliated with the FFE, offering classical equestrian education and instructor certification. Comparable in mission (equestrian education and certifications recognized by the FFE, which Poney Club also prepares students for) but operates at national-scale institutional level.
• Haras National Suisse (Swiss National Stud): State-run national equestrian facility in Avenches (Swiss Federal Stud). Operates at significantly larger scale than Poney Club de Presinge, but is the most prominent Swiss equestrian venue offering lessons, breeding, and events — setting the broader benchmark for Swiss equestrian services.

Direct peers

• Centre équestre de Jussy: Nearby equestrian center located in Jussy, immediately adjacent to Presinge and bordering the Forest of Jussy. Offers comparable riding school, livery, and pony services to the Geneva-area market, making it the closest geographic and service-line competitor to Poney Club de Presinge.

Others

• Marque et Valeurs: Geneva-based management consulting firm (Arnaud Camus) that is Poney Club de Presinge's strategic partner for delivering equicoaching services. Not a competitor but an ecosystem partner combining the equestrian facility with corporate consulting expertise to access enterprise customers.
