Its activity going decreasing as from 1822, this school was regenerated by Charles X under the name " of Royal School of Cavalerie". A military horse-gear and a horse-gear of academy composed the main part of the structures.

From 1830, with the disappearance of the School of Versailles, Saumur becomes the only school agent of the French equestrian tradition.
