Arnaud and Stephanie de Crevecoeur are the owners of New Normandy Farm. Originally from France, they have been involved in horses most of their lives and relocated to Pennsylvania horse country in 2007. Encouraged by friends, they decided to utilize their network of contacts in France and their knowledge of the world renowned Selle Francais bloodlines in order to establish a world class facility here in Pennsylvania.

New Normandy Farm breeds and trains Sport Horses of French genetics. They also import young prospects and sell some of finest  stallions frozen semen available in France to the US horse market.

She learned from great French Showjumper riders such as Michel Hecart and Philippe Moles, both members of the French Show Jumping Team, and Muriel Leonardi,  International Dressage rider, judge and “Chef d’équipe” of the French Junior and Young Rider Dressage Teams. Stephanie learned different techniques from each coach and molded them together into what worked best for she and her horses, competing in several Young Riders championships in France.

Arnaud developed a strong interest in breeding many years ago, following his quest for the perfect horse in France.  Like many breeders, his biggest reward is to bring along young horses that produce show results for his clients.

Having one foot in Europe and the other in the United States, Arnaud has understood well that sports conditions are very different on both sides of the Atlantic. While many try to produce the "best" horses by copying what works in Europe, Arnaud focuses on producing horses that are best suited to the characteristics of our sport in America.

Arnaud became involved in show jumping more than a quarter of a century ago when he met Stephanie and these two passions have never passed. He was a successful business man who wanted another challenge in life. Today he manages New Normandy Farm, making continuous improvements to the property and producing young horses with the goal of developing exceptional sport horses through the Selle Francais genetics here on the US market.​

When Stephanie was a small child, her first work of art was to draw a horse. To this day her parents still wonder how that baby girl from the city could possibly develop an interest in horses. Stephanie began to ride when she was three year old in France, where she received academic training in Dressage and Jumping from the French Riding School. There, flat work was emphasized as the critical foundation for the jumping skills required for both the horse and rider. Stephanie passed the “Eperon d’Argent”, the last step and mandatory exam required to enter French registered shows and the requirement for entering the educational program to become an instructor.
