An equestrian centre is a property that specialises in horse riding, horse education and teaching, and can cater for all types of equidae (horses, ponies, donkeys).
The activities of an equestrian centre generally include
If you want to develop an equestrian centre business, you need to pay close attention to the property's facilities, such as buildings, riding arenas, tack rooms, paddocks, etc.
Make sure you take a close look at the condition of the outdoor facilities to confirm that they all have an adequate water and electricity supply.
Stables must offer protection from the wind, remain dry and be well ventilated.
When choosing the location of a riding school for sale, there are several key factors to consider.
Choose a location that is easily accessible, close to major roads and, if possible, public transport. It's important for a riding school to be close to an area with a large enough population to support the operation of your riding school, and also close to services and shops.
You should also make sure that the area offers sufficient space for equestrian facilities, paddocks and footpaths.
Finally, keep a close eye on potential competitors.
Running an equestrian centre requires at least one person with the necessary qualifications for the teaching phases, and the centre must be registered with the French Horse and Riding Institute (IFCE).
Lastly, the riding school must meet the conditions for receiving members of the public, as it comes under the ERP (Etablissements Recevant du Public) regulations.
You'll also have to comply with health and environmental regulations, etc.
You need to be passionate about your business and have a certain number of rules and business management skills to buy or set up an equestrian centre.
The selling price of a riding school depends on a number of crucial factors.
The location of the centre plays a decisive role: an equestrian centre located a few minutes from a town (or even Paris or the Paris region) or tourist resort can cost much more than a property located in the middle of the countryside.
In addition, the size of the equestrian centre, the number of stalls and the quality of facilities such as the riding arena, dressage area and bridle paths can also influence the price.
The surface area, in hectares, of the equestrian centre will also affect its value, as will its location.
The commercial potential of an equestrian centre will also depend on the team of qualified instructors, the number of regular members and the annual rates for riding lessons.
Taking all these factors into account, the price of a riding school ranges from €500,000 to over €1,000,000 on average.
The presence of a house will also have a major influence on the value of such an equestrian structure: a small house will carry little weight, while a beautiful mansion with character will greatly increase the price of the estate.
If they are well managed, have high-quality facilities and a good reputation, some exceptional equestrian centres can fetch prices in excess of €2,000,000.
