Issam and Hala Fares are the owners of a large stud farm in Normandy France. The farm named Haras de Manneville is home of about 75 horses. The estate is made up of 140 acres. Of which 100 acres are devoted to the horses. The family does not use the farm as their residence. We think they have residences in California, USA and in Monaco.
