The Military Riding School of Fontainebleau. The Military Riding School (EME) is located in the Carrousel district and is home to more than five centuries of equestrian and military tradition. The Military Riding School (EME) is located in the Carrousel district and is home to more than five centuries of equestrian and military tradition. The history of this place began in 1515 when François I decided to set up his hunting stables there. The "Sénarmont" riding school, which has just been restored with its impressive single-vaulted framework, more than 31,000 mortises in it, representing the hull of a ship, was built to allow equestrian instruction for students of the Imperial Special Military School that Napoleon I had created in 1803 (which would later move to Saint-Cyr). The stables evolved over the centuries, welcoming a military infirmary, a farriery and two large riding schools within the premises of the establishment, which became the first National Riding School in 1943. Today, it provides training for officers, non-commissioned officers and other ranks in the various horse-related professions (riding instructors, stable managers, horse grooms, farriers). As an initial training centre for horses purchased for the benefit of the entire military equestrian sector, the EME provides breaking-in and specialisation for young horses. The keystone of military equestrian sports and a major training school, it is made up of around a hundred men and women and 200 horses. The school also welcomes young soldiers aiming for a career in a riding sector and stands out in high-level competitions. As the first stage of a comprehensive renovation, the Sénarmont riding school has regained its exterior splendour. This historic building has the particularity and richness of still having the same function today as in the 19th century: an equestrian work area. The interior of the riding school should also regain its former glory by 2022. The reconstruction of a grandstand opposite the existing one would thus make it possible to restore the original design of the riding school. Video made during the 2022 Heritage Days.
