HARAS du Petit Tellier is one of the oldest thoroughbred stud farms in France. Located at Orne in the Lower Normandy region, it was established in 1850 and is today run by the founder’s descendant, Patrick Chedeville.

In the last two years the stud has offered three offspring of the winning Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) mare Watchful at Arqana on behalf of their breeders, and all three failed to sell. The last time was in December when a colt foal by Elvstroem (Danehill) was retained at €5,000.
