"Last weekend, my husband and I were walking in the countryside around Saignelégier. We decided to go to Les Breuleux on foot and we were looking for a place to stop for lunch when we found the "Fondation pour le Cheval" in Le Roselet. After the meal, we saw that you could visit the premises. It was wonderful to see that horses could also relax and spend a peaceful retirement in the pastures of the Franches-Montagnes. There were also some donkeys and even a few foals. Animals are bred there as well, so the whole cycle of life from birth to death is represented. We saw that there were two other centres: Maison-Rouge, close to Les Bois and Le Jeanbrenin, near Tramelan. We will be visiting them on our future hikes."
