The best french auction

The international results of horses sold by FENCES in the first 15 sales confirm the pertinence of the selection. Also 3 FENCES horses went to the Sydney Olympics and numerous others are regularly placed in international classes


Over 15 years FENCES have acquired a solid reputation in France and abroad in organising a sport horse auction which has become a true shop window for Selle Francais. The horses presented at FENCES are rigorously selected during a tour of breeders which takes many weeks following the example of the big sales of the German studbooks. This selection is made by professionals (dealers, international riders and breeders) who know perfectly the needs of the buyers.

Today breeders are also certain that their best products are sold for the best prices and that the buyers are acquiring the best of French production with a transparent price. A business which stagnates is a business in reverse. Innovation plays a permanent part for the directors of FENCES. Every year they propose something new and dynamic to their activity.
