This region like many in France has its own specialities when it comes to livestock and the Breton horse has to be one of the most spectacular. A heavy horse kept mostly these days by enthusiasts and lovers of the breed is often to be seen benignly munching in fields and my visit to pick up a couple of new ewes the other day was only improved by seeing the owners collection of Breton Horses, just stunning!
The reason for my visit was of course to follow up on the flock of ouessant sheep I had spied the other week and if at all possible buy a couple, well lucky me!!! After a couple of phonecalls I was able to buy two adult ewes from a completely different line to those I currently have. The rams have great horns and the ewes are all well boned and with good toplines and the one in particular is just so petite. Pics when they get into the isolation paddock.
I have looked long and hard for some nice names and they will be Amandine and Rozenn. They are in this pic somewhere!
