Haras de Niellans is a family-run equestrian centre in the Jura region of France, in the hamlet of Niellans near Loray. Set among meadows and the natural landscapes of the Dessoubre Valley, the centre has welcomed horse enthusiasts for more than 30 years. Its approach places horse welfare, respectful care and a friendly atmosphere at the heart of its activities.

The haras offers boarding in facilities and surroundings intended to support horses’ comfort and wellbeing. Its riding instruction, led by equestrian professional Sophia Schaffter, is tailored to riders of different abilities, from beginners to experienced participants, and encourages both skill development and a considerate relationship with horses. Visitors can also enjoy guided horseback rides through the surrounding countryside, while adapted riding is listed among the centre’s services.

Breeding is another part of the business, with a focus on coloured horses and racehorses. The site also features horses for sale, including Arabian and Thoroughbred racehorses, and identifies Layon as a stallion.
