29th edition from 15th to 20th July 2025

at the Haras de Tarbes

A magical experience for the whole family

This festive event is a unique opportunity to watch some surprising equestrian shows, to enjoy the wonder of the children’s village with the little ones, before treating yourselves to a delicious snack under the trees at the Haras (stud farm), transformed into a rural, guinguette-style atmosphere!

You don’t need to be an experienced rider to appreciate our programme of events, which is a joyful blend of equestrian talent, street art, musical parades, guided tours, and exhibitions from passionate artists.

A historic place, giving the festival a special atmosphere

What makes Equestria so special is without a doubt the venue, the superb Haras de Tarbes in the town centre.
Here, time seemingly stands still… You’ll find yourself in a lush-green, eight-hectare estate, the birthplace of the Anglo-Arabian breed of horse. Surrounded by the beautiful stables created upon the orders of Napoleon, wonder at the equestrian talent of our experienced riders, and then stay a while longer in our new gourmet and festive areas.
