The Grandes Écuries (Grand Stables), built between 1719 and 1740 to house 240 horses and more than 400 hounds, stand west of the château near Chantilly's famous hippodrome (racecourse), inaugurated in 1834. The stables house the Musée Vivant du Cheval, included in domain and show pass admission. Displays range from riding equipment to rocking horses to artworks.
