This is well-known riding stud and school just outside Lion d'Angers. History from its website below:

Located in Angers since 1797 near the current station, the National Stud has continued to see its enclosure shrink under urban pressure. Access having become difficult and the exercise of horses almost impossible, the Domaine de l'Isle Briand was bought in 1974 by the Department of Maine-et-Loire, in collaboration with the State. The Angers National Stud thus goes from 2.5 hectares to 160 hectares.
In order to create suitable equestrian infrastructures, the Department is launching an architectural competition, won by Geoffroy de Crépy, also author of the National Riding School.

Today
Today, the Departmental Park of Isle Briand is entirely managed by a Groupement d'Intêret Public (GIP), associating the Department, the Community of Communes of the Haut-Anjou Valleys, the City of Lion d'Angers and the 'Association Le Lion Equestre - Mondial du Lion. It hosts several entities including the IFCE which, for its Western Territorial Delegation , has the following missions:

- Ensure the sanitary traceability of equines on its territory

- Support the development of the equine sector in the territory by:

Reporting its needs to the national sector committee and facilitating the connection of its actors in the territory;
Supporting the implementation of territorial projects meeting its needs (porting, co-porting, assistance with setting up);
Producing and making available useful knowledge (research and development) and data (observatories).
