🐴❤️ When Friendship Means Everything! ❤️🐴
Our lovely donkey Janice has taken her friendship with Daisy to the next level—by becoming her very own scratching post! 😂
Whether it’s a nuzzle or a cheeky scratch, these two are the perfect example of how strong bonds can form between our donkey residents.
Janice, with her calm and patient nature, doesn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, we think she enjoys the attention as much as Daisy loves giving it! 🥰
It’s these special little moments that remind us of the joy and love our donkeys bring every day.

Playtime with Pika! 🐴💕
Our adorable Shetland foal Pika has been having the best time with his favourite enrichment toy—a Snak-A-Ball! 🥎😊
Watching him play and knock it around to get some tasty treats is pure joy. It’s a great way to keep his mind and body active.
At Bransby Horses, we love seeing our equines enjoy fun and enrichment. Have you ever seen a horse this cute? 😍

Our special girl, Duchess, is still looking for her Perfect Partner 🐴👑
🐴 Height: 15hh
🐴 Age: 14 yrs old
🐴 Non-ridden companion
Greeting you in the morning with a soft whicker she is sure to steal your heart ❤️
Having experienced many years alone in a field with minimal human interaction before coming to us, Duchess now develops a strong need to keep with her herd and feels compelled to guard them.
With this in mind, this pretty mare is looking for a home that can offer a paddock that's just for her, but with friends that can be interacted with over the fence.
Duchess has come a very long way since being with us at Bransby Horses, she is very sweet to handle and enjoys going for walks in hand.
We would love to see Duchess flourish in a loving one-to-one home, so if you think that you could be Duchess's Perfect Partner, follow the link to apply today 👇

Since 1965, animal welfare organisations have referred to the ‘The Five Freedoms’ which have assisted us with assessing animal welfare. This was further strengthened in 2006 with the introduction of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 which consisted of five needs:
1. Need for a suitable environment
2. Need for a suitable diet
3. Need to be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
4. Need to be housed with, or apart from, other animals
5. Need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease.
These were created to help us ensure that an animal’s essential needs are met as defined in legislation, as well as helping us to understand the welfare standards we should all be providing and promoting.
However, in all the years which have passed, our knowledge and understanding of animal welfare has expanded and it has become vital to re-examine the way we look at and consider animal welfare so we can ensure animals live their best possible life.
The Five Freedoms and Five Domains frameworks contain essentially the same five elements. However, the Five Domains explore the mental state of an animal in more detail and acknowledges how, for every physical aspect that is affected, there may be an accompanying emotion or subjective experience which may also affect welfare. This is useful in terms of reinforcing the message that emotional needs are equally as important as the physical needs for animals.
The Five Domains are the most recent evolution of the Five Freedoms and provides us with a means to approach animal welfare in a more holistic manner, meaning we are not just meeting their most basic needs, but we are making decisions that can further promote their physical and mental wellbeing.
