LAND, NATURE AND LIBERTY:

Horses and microorganisms, two words that summarise a singular life, that of Marcel Mézy, 70 years old, self-educated researcher who one day fell in love with Arabian thoroughbred racehorses. In his native North Aveyron, he spent part of his life perfecting, in the form of Bactériosol® and Bactériolit®, a fertilisation process that is now used by over 5,000 farmers in France. When he isn’t at Lioujas, in the Sobac, the parent company that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2012, he can be found on this Causse in the midst of his three hundred Arabian thoroughbreds for which he professes an unbridled passion.
Whether talking about endurance or flat racers, the reputation of the Bozouls stud farm is now firmly established both nationally and internationally. Whether in Grioudas or on the Lévezou Plateau, Marcel Mézy never tires of seeing his herd of mares emerging out of the mist surrounded by their foals. The horses are raised freely outdoors in an organic environment that represents a unique heritage. It is here, among the juniper trees, that they create breed combinations and pedigrees that most breeders can only dream of achieving. More than just a simple stud farm, this a philosophy of life.
