So beautiful...

Thanks for this video, Barbara and wonderful family, returning to stay in a gîte for the holiday so they can meet the baby Qs and see their donkey friends again!

Everyone of the Baudet du Poitou love to meet friends and to esoecially be in a photo or so!

The 3 Muskateers came home yesterday, to help guard the Nursery with me! So happy to have these proud, autonomous boys back!
Slowly, slowly....

Griot du Vern...
Our glorious, friendly, funny, approved stallion, Livre A, pure race, Baudet du Poitou (son of Champion Cupidon du Vern)....

Waiting and waiting... ever hopeful that a new girl will come along.

Meanwhile, he is zen...so sweet and good. He just gets on, watching his cow neighbours and the world go by...

Only around 53 active, approved reproductors in the world so Griot and his nemesis, here, Corto de Re, have an important job to help save their own critically endangered breed from extinction.

I love Griot dearly.... both of his daughters born here have his glorious character and humour... the Wizadora Explorer, Nadege de Barret, is in Vermont, USA and 5 week old Quamara de Barret, is in our Baudet du Poitou Nursery.

Doing my best to help one foal, one soul at a time.

Princess Poitous on their way...

"The child in me" is a perfect song for Kismet, our first born fedon, aged 6 and a half..

Kis has always been 'The' Princess, spoilt by her adoring mum, Bamako and me.... so, she is a perfect attentive mum to all 3 baby Qs, fit and full of energy.... but she can still be jealous because she is used to being 'THE' one who everyone notices and adores. Now she has to learn to share her limelight!

It is lovely to see our healthy young mums, Kis and Kia, born here, who know only love, feeling safe, trust and complicity....So huge, fit, strong, physically and emotionally. The most brilliant first time mums.

Tge Baudet du Poitou is critically endangered and deserves to be saved. There are more panda bears in the world.

Poitou Perfection:
3 baby Qs and their mums!

It is funny how each fedon even walks like their mum!

Quincelle first,as usual! In her pony sized leather collar...the foal size is too small, not even 6 months old...and she is so strong that she broke a nylon harness.
Quilla next, in her red harness.
They really are more like twins than half sisters. They share the same amazing dad, Acredite des Genets and have been together since conception.

Their mums, Kismet and Anissou share the rearing of these two. Anissou is not interested in running or playing but she feeds both on demande and watches over them, intelligently.

Kismet , aged 6, runs and plays with them but is also strict and bossy. Same mothering skills as her own mum, Bamako.

Here, you see Kis pushing them along, where she can see them!

Then Kia, followed by miss goody two shoes, Quamara.
And lastly, matriarche Anissou.

The dream team!

The Baudet du Poitou is critically endangered and deserves to be saved. Trying my best to help one foal, one soul at a time.

Heffalumps playground....

A.A.Milne knew a thing or two about animals! You can understand why Eeyore was depressed or sad, despite having so many other animal friends....he needed a donkey-friend.

I always imagined what a heffalump would look like...and now I know!

Feeling so blessed to have 3 Livre A pure race fedons, this year.

Quilla and Quincelle , 3 weeks apart, are more like twins than half sisters. They share the same dad, the brave Acredite des Genets.
Quami is not even 5 weeks old and growing so fast. They all are!

The Baudet du Poitou is critically endangered. Reproduction is complicated and iften does not end well. This glorious, most ancient breed deserves to be saved.
Trying my best to help one soul, one foal at a time.

Please suppirt this Baudet du Poitou Preservation Passion. If all of our friends and followers gave €1, just imagine the difference it would make.
Or book a holiday in one of our gîtes. Or become a Patreon Sponsor.
