Why they chose this property

This property has a lot of history. France's most famous horse 'Ozo' was rared and stabbled here, following its pre-mature death, its heart is buried in the garden

Ozo ( 1958 - 1966 ) is a mare specialist trotter mounted and harnessed, native to the English Channel .

She was born in 1958 , at Jules Vautier (breeder). Race horse with exceptional destiny, this mare, of brown bay dress (or black pangare, say the specialists), knows a not very promising beginnings. His odd way of running, tail in a plume in the wind, and his rather unpredictable character, make Ozo an animal difficult to contain. Its owner, coach and driver, Roger Massue , of Villedieu-les-Poêles , had all the trouble in the world to channel it. When he got there, the mare showed great gaits and an exceptional pace both at the trot and the trot. She was easily recognized by her white bandages placed on her anterior.

Among his greatest victories, we will remember the 1963 American awards (No. 15, driver: Roger Massue) and 1965 (No. 18, driver: Jan Frömming).

An anecdote says a lot about the character of the mare. While traveling by plane to the United States, where Ozo won two major races, the mare began to hit the cabin violently. It is said that the pilot, exhausted and fearful for the aircraft, had the idea of ​​having the animal shot down during the flight. Fortunately, everything went back to normal and Ozo conquered America ...

Still very young, and promised new victories, the mare died in 1966 at only eight years of a tumor in the womb.
