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!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures. I can't get over how old Aria looks.
ReplyDeleteNo 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!
ReplyDeleteBen rode on the horse with Shai- 3pic down.
I was just chatting this morning about how grown up she looks!
Oooops Sorry Ben.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
