Equipment

The hamlet of Le Villaret was acquired by Association Takh in December 1991. 
Le Villaret was previously used as a sheep farm: the equipment, expertise and funds to convert it for horse breeding came from WWF France, Languedoc-Roussillon Region, Lozère Departement, the European Union and France through the Life program, Parc National des Cévennes and private funds.
