In 1855, the Société du Manège united around a hundred people for the construction of the necessary infrastructure to practice horse riding in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The Manège was inaugurated in 1857. It doesn’t seem to have been viable financially and was sold in 1864 and then transformed into an apartment complex.
