Horses on the trotting ring at Haras du Nil
In 1976 Toni and Rita Aeschbacher, imported two straight Egyptian fillies to Switzerland and Nile Arabians was founded. The stud has grown to 26 horses and now includes several thoroughbreds, all cared for by their son Urs and his wife Franziska. At the beginning of 2019, after a long wait to find the right property, they relocated to France and after a year of hard work, the Haras du Nil is now fully established in the Limousin region.
Urs and Franziska grew up around horses, riding from a young age in their native Switzerland. Later Urs competed warmbloods and Arabians in dressage and show-jumping, whilst Franziska brought on young show-jumpers for an international dealer. They met when Franziska completed an apprenticeship as a tourism consultant in the travel agency owned Urs’ father 36 years ago and have been together ever since.
