Breeder’s background

A passionate horse woman, Christine Sambussy became interested in ‘the Baudet’ donkey through a breeder friend. She has now been breeding “the Poitou” donkey for twenty years.

She began with “not pure blood” or “B-book” donkeys which she bred with passion. However, since 1999, only “pure blood” or “A-book” donkeys are bred in du Breuil.

Her goal is to get back to the original ancestry, to try and improve breeds and the descendents of the Poitou donkey.
