Its owner and coach have made Saint-Jean-le-Thomas known on every continent! Aged one year in 1975, the young horse makes his first steps on the beach, facing the Mont-Saint-Michel. It is then housed at the Dunes stud farm in Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, from 1975 to 1983. This small horse then forged one of the finest international trot chars between 1979 and 1983. He won 2 american prices in January 1983.
With its 450 year-round inhabitants, 500 houses and summer residents, Saint-Jean-le-Thomas remain a small resort that was able to develop during the sea-bath era in the 1930s, which is a pleasure for families, cyclists and hikers who want to enjoy a quiet break in the Bay of the Mont-Saint-Michel.
