Pierre is one of our big French stallion donkeys and he is by far the loudest donkey. He came to Clovelly in February 2005, with his best friend Samson, from Toulouse in south-west France. He is much bigger than the average English donkey as you can see in the picture below. We bought him so that we could give rides to bigger children.

The Garage is their favourite sunbathing spot. But when they are bored they get up to lots of mischeif such as........... |
| Trying to sneak inside the garage to play with the tools.................. |
|
|
|
Wrecking things and tipping things over and playing tug with the bits and pieces |
|
|
Not to mention.................. |

|
|

..Wrestling..
and making the dog bark by ..Gallopping.. up and down the drive. |

Pierre loves to go out for walks and we have just started riding him. He is not at all scared of the traffic and will even pass huge tractors and lorries.

Considering how cheeky he is Pierre is remarkably well behaved when out - though he does eeore to keep in touch with Sammy - there's no chance of anyone not knowing where we are !
(Hmm.........that saddle and that rider were a bit big for that Pierre..................Sue has promised not to ride him once he is well enough trained for the children) |

Here they are in the snow........... They were not very impressed with it - perhaps they don't have snow in Toulouse ? |
