An Equestrian School

Access formally forbidden.

The agricultural high school in Saint Cyran du Jambot is unique in France. It offers courses from high school certificate to Masters degree entirely centered around the equestrian trades. It is presumably a dream come true for kids who find their vocation early and see their future as being surrounded by horses.

The students may have gone home due to Covid19, but work around the school continues.

The private school is located in the old Berry province, modern Indre, in a chateau, and there are about equal numbers of horses and students living there (in a normal year). Students come from all over France to train as riding instructors, horse breeders, equestrian centre managers, grooms and farriers.
