The 'Fondation pour le Cheval' (Foundation for the Horse) is a retirement home for horses, ponies and donkeys, which is located on 3 sites: le Roselet, Maison Rouge aux Bois and le Jeanbrenain. Founded in 1958 by Hans Schwarz, le Roselet is the first home to have emerged. The 2 se-tenant stamps, issued in 2008, feature the sunset and the jura track enjoyed by the numerous horses of this Foundation.
The last stamp was released in 1980 to mark the centenary of the Swiss Institute of Meteorology. Thank you very much Vural for this nice cover!
