Presentation
The Vercors horse is an endangered breed. A handful of passionate breeders are fighting to keep the breed alive. Come and discover this breed of small mountain horses.
The Barraquand Vercors horse is an endangered breed numbering around 300 individuals.
This breed almost disappeared and was recognised in 2017 thanks to the work of the association. It was originally found in the Vercors, with overwintering in the Crau.
These small, hardy horses are versatile: equestrian tourism, carriage driving, farm work.
This year, for the second time, and building on last year's success, a regional breed competition will be held on Saturday 18 April 2026 at my farm l'Instant Animal in Breziers.
The aim of this competition is to bring together breeders, owners and friends of the Vercors horse for a day of exchanges, demonstrations and approval of future breeding stock.
The following will be on offer:
*a confirmation judging for mares aged 3 and over, as well as for stallion candidates.
*a model and paces competition for categories: 1 year old / 2 years old / 3 years old / 4 years old and over. For males, females and mares with foals.
Opening period
