Description
Hi there,
I live in a rural area in Normandy, north-west of France, with friendly horses, chicken and cats. The village nearby (walking distance) It is a very picturesque and lively, the seaside is 20 minutes away.
The four-legged friends who need looking after are:
3 retired racehorses : Mon Ami L’Ecossais (« my Scottish friend »!) is 10, Storm City is 7 and Minipuce is 4. They are extremely friendly and get on very well.
2 cats: André and Cocaine (sorry about that one - she’s all white..), both came from a refuge and are very independent, roam free in the garden, come home at bedtime!
3 chicken (unnamed!): could be mistaken for Labradors - just a friendly, loyal and enthusiastic, always willing to assist with any duty in the garden!

Help
The cats & chicken need feeding on a daily basis - the horses look after themselves.
No cat litter!

ANDRE
Andre lived in this house long before I moved in and has remained its heart and soul
COCAINE
Cocaine was adopted from the local shelter and her age remains unknown. She had to have her ears amputed due to melanoma and I think she is the cutest thing on earth.
MINIPUCE
MINIPUCE is a bit of an oddity. Despite having now turned 4 and reached his adult height, he still looks very much like a yearling. He is unbroken, very cheeky and destined for equine assisted therapy.
STORM CITY
STORM CITY was my daily ride when I used to work as an exercise rider and is now enjoying a happy retirement
MON AMI L'ECOSSAIS (My Scottish Friend!)
MON AMI L'ECOSSAIS was a brillant performer on the racetrack and still shows his paddock mates a clean pair of heels whenever they decide for have a bit of a race...
