Who I am

Background

My name is Laetitia Collet, and I am a breeder of purebred Arabian horses and Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Montauban-de-Bretagne, in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany. Écurie de Livhest is the result of a deep passion for the Arabian horse, a breed that has been part of my life for many years.

The Écurie de Livhest

Located at 21 La Hamelinais, 35360 Montauban-de-Bretagne, Écurie de Livhest is a family-run stud farm dedicated to purebred Arabians. The farm enjoys an exceptional Breton setting with lush green pastures, a working arena, and individual paddocks for the well-being of our horses.

In addition to our equine breeding, we also raise Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a dog breed originating from South Africa, known for its loyalty and elegance.
