Does anyone know if they are a breed destined for meat or are a rare french breed. Excuse the pun. My sister lives in France and she has some of these in her garden as she has loads of land and no interest in large animals totally opposite to me so she lets the farmer graze his mares and foals on her land. She assures me they don't go for meat but as she doesn't speak french and he doesn't speak english I wonder.

mmmm it would be worth looking into, highlanderpony do you no if the same horses stay with her long, or are they changing every so often?

They have foals every year but the foals are sold at about 18 months old

Hi i have never heard of them nor can i find them on google even with the suggested spelling good gave. I dont know if the horses you mean are bred for meat by breed but any horse will go for meat if they can get their hands on them. They have any sort at the fat farms.

Are they a light chestnut colour with a blond mane and tail. Chunky pony sized by any chance?.
If there are so many of them the chances are they go for meat.
It's such big business in France, as well as the other countries.

Yes they are chestnut with blond manes and tails so perhaps they do go for meat. I will find out next year and if so will ask yer to keep one for me to bring home. It is a long way though as she lives near Carcasonne
