MY FAMILY & OTHER ANIMALS
We have adopted a variety of rescue
animals including three horses, two donkeys, two dogs, a cat, a
guinea fowl and chickens.
Horses and donkeys
Three horses live at Chez Raud
and as they are adopted all came with unusual names
- a 16.2 hand hunter called 'Farqua'
- a 15.2 hand show-jumper called 'Eclipse'
- a 14.2 hand tri-coloured pony called 'Cartel'
who is the smallest and leader of the group
Living with the horses you will
also see our beautiful donkeys named 'Clare' and 'Maeve'
after Jim & Monique's grown-up daughters!
Horseriding & grooming
We have many woods and bridleways
adjoining the property on which to enjoy trekking in the beautiful
countryside. Riding is free for all guests. Unfortunately we cannot
arrange insurance, we suggest you purchase personal accident insurance
prior to arrival.
Many of our guests, especially
children, enjoy feeding, grooming and caring for the horses and
donkeys. Jim is always happy to offer supervised instruction.
Dogs and cats
We also have three friendly and energetic dogs:
'Boubou', a Jack Russell terrier; 'Rosie', her daughter;
and 'Kiara', a white German Shepherd who are always ready
for a walk in the fields. 'Oscar', a ginger tomcat, can
normally be found sleeping in the warmest part of the terrace.
Poultry
The silky bantam hens provide us with fresh eggs
that you may help us collect. There is also a guinea fowl appropriately
named 'Dotty'.
