Happy Thanksgiving, Ladromedonkey style!
To all our long and short-eared friends across the pond!!
This bunch prefers the rugby scrum mode of eating, festivities or not! Not very chic but superbly effective!
Donkeys are very convivial beings. They need to be with other donkeys and they do everything together, especially eating!
You can support the donkeys by donating, becoming a Patreon Sponsor or by booking a holiday in one of our gîtes where you can meet the donkey family. Link in bio. Linktr.ee/Ladromedonkeys

I am lucky to manage one month without a Vet visit...
This evening, Bamako, normally very fit , well and rustique (for a Baudet du Poitou), is suddenly limping badly. Just moved pasture the day before yesterday and she was fine...and suddenly from nowhere, this.
So, on night watch yet again...
So awful to see them hobbling in pain.
Cleaned and bathed the foot, not hot, no sign of d'inconfort. She is keeping her knee bent. Given adprin early and tonight, Buteless and Traumsedyl. Plus a spoon of honey to give her energy.
Thus is why I prefer when they are at home, next to
me....
Looks like another emergency Vet and Farrier visit...
Please send your positive wishes to this bravest of brave girl. Thankyou for caring😞

Ouff... J'ai la chance si on arrive à passer une mois sans le Véto..
Ce soir, Bamako, la rustique, jamais malade, jamais des problèmes de santé, à une boiterie très importante. De nul-part.
On a changé la pâture avant hier. Elle a marché facilement. Sur un pré en hauteur mais assez plat, pas des dangers comme dans leur forêt...
Et soudainement elle a vraiment mal à marcher.
J'ai nettoyé le pied et tapé, on ne voit rien, pas sensible...
Elle plié le genou constamment mais quand je le touche partout, je ne sens rien et elle ne dit rien. Mais elle ne peut pas mettre du pression.
Elle a eu de l'aspirine. Et juste maintenant du Buteless et Traumsedyl.
Je ne vois rien. Elle reste débout, elle mange mais elle a mal. Elle est vraiment stoïque cette belle.
Le Véto est prévu pour Mardi. Le Maréchal-Ferrant, aussi...
Merci pour vos conseils...

Accrédité is a real credit to his breed.
One of few Baudet du Poitou Livret A pure race studs approved to reproduce to help save his glorious breed, the Baudet du Poitou, from extinction.
Aged 14, he spends his life being rented out to breeders and so he regularly changes place and people.
On location here for the season 2025. He arrived a week ago, late at night, after 3 long days of travelling and being presented to Judges....
He is thin, arrived with worms and has terrible feet. He already looks better after just one week of good food and care. He was wormed on arrival. The Farrier comes next week. Hay and grass at his disposition.
I walk with him so that he learns to trust me and so that he can use his head and muscles. He is so incredibly good. Griot is also wonderful but is much younger and as soon as you put on his head collar he thinks he needs to work and immediately looks for a female. Accrédité just immediately walks respectfully behind. He does not pull and listens to every command. He does not stop to eat, he just holds his head up and walks like an Angel. These are hugely strong breeding males and so it is important that they are nice.
The Poitou is such an amazing breed. Huge but gentle and calm. Intelligent and funny. Extinction is forever and they deserve to be saved even if it is not easy.

So who is this, travelling so far to join us??
The glorious Acredite des Genets! Thank you so much to Les Races Mulassieres for lending us one of their special boys! One of very few pure race Livret A males approved by a special Commission to breed to help save his critically endangered species from extinction. Very lucky to have him!
We are working meticulously to ensure that any 'fédons ' (baby Poitous) born here comply with the rightly rigorous rules.... to ensure that our Poitous are not inbred and to do our best to help in the Conservation of this glorious, most ancient breed.
Accrédité will be available for breeding in 2025. There are so few pure race males approved and when you live 'hors berceau' it is really difficult to comply with the genetic recommendations.... but we are doing our best.
After 3 very long days for this beautiful chap .... we finally arrived tonight! Please wish Accrédité all the best. We assure him that we will do all we can so that his stay here is comfortable!

Nadege...the mushroom expert!
Such a sweet thing, our youngest Baudet du Poitou to be born here! Princess of the forest... helping to look for mushrooms!
It is so moving to observe how much donkeys genuinely love human interaction. All donkeys deserve happy lives.

A walk in the woods!
Nadege followed us for a walk in their forest.... followed by the surveillance team, the 3 Muskateers Bodyguards...
It is really interesting and impressive to observe how donkeys live and co-operate as a group. The 3 Muskateers, here since 2016, when aged 1, 2 and 3, are always looking out to keep their family safe. Ready to attack intruders away, whether hunting dogs, foxes, wolves, geese..or humans...
Allowing Nadege to grow up tranquilly, feeling free to explore....whilst under the constant watchful eye of the boys.

Let your actions speak for you....
Griot the Great, with his two new beautiful girlfriends who have travelled a long way to be with him.
Such a gentleman but working well to help to save his breed, the Baudet du Poitou, from extinction. Bravo, Griot du Vern!
