Donkeys of Poitou

We live on the farm, the meadows are contiguous to our house, so it is easy for us to devote daily three to four hours to feeding (fodder, concentrates and supplements) and to the day-to-day care of our donkeys which we also trim. The reproduction of our animals is the object of all our care: We breed our donkeys on average every 2 years. They are bred by approved purebred stallions belonging to National Studs or to private breedings, chosen according to their genetics and their physical characteristics, but also to their character, this within the framework of the mating plan defined by the Interregional Park of the Marais Poitevin. With Qualif de Ouismes, we practice riding in hand, both with the “compatible” donkeys of our herd and with the females entrusted to us. Finally, we watch our donkeys at night to assist them during the donations. It also allows us to be the first contact of the newborn … Our omnipresence finds both its justification and its reward in the behavior of our animals: they are gentle, cuddly and confident.
