It couldn't have been better timing for the sun to poke it's head out this evening. A friend invited us over (after a few hints :) to not only see her beautiful horses and donkeys, but to groom and ride them.
She takes in horses and donkeys that haven't been cared for properly, or no longer have a home. She gives them lots of TLC, some being relocated to new homes afterwards.

A new donkey, Gus, had just arrived this week. What a handsome fella! Shai was smitten over him. I think a donkey might be a nice addition (right after the Alpaca and sheep, don't you?).
The kids loved riding them, brushing them out and feeding them carrots. Round the evening out with a bbq , a trampoline and a little bit of fishing and it was a success.

Ohhh, we love donkeys! We don't have one, but the kids would love one! They're the cutest things. Looks like a great day!
Fabulous pictures. I can't get over how old Aria looks.
No Ben????
There is a great book My Animals and Me, author is escaping me. It is a true story about a little girl who had, among many other animals a donkey. It was during the depression and her donkey used to take her to school and get into all kinds of trouble- the kids thought it sounded great!
Ben rode on the horse with Shai- 3pic down.
I was just chatting this morning about how grown up she looks!
Oooops Sorry Ben.
I really do have to stop drinking in the mornings!
If you have sheep and an alpaca you HAVE to get a donkey as they are natural guard animals. It's the least you could do for Shai, I mean the flock.
