Ollie 💙💕💙

He is utterly gorgeous 🥰
People often comment about Ollie’s size ( Tummy) We have to explain that as donkeys age there back will bow and every thing goes south especially donkeys who have been used for giving rides and as you know Ollie was in his younger years a beach donkey, and just like us donkeys come in all different shapes and sizes!

Love Ollie 💙 He just has the most amazing temperament and is throughly enjoying his retirement ☺️xx

Teddy… Aka Bear ❤️💕❤️

We try and make sure all the donkeys get to go out for a walk, its good for there mental stimulation Teddy can really get a march on despite his arthritic shoulder its good to keep moving!He thoroughly enjoys it stopping along the way for a munch on the grass - Best friend Frank is always with him 🥰

Hope you all have a great day xx

Charlie Brown…. 💙 💕💙

Smiling donkey…?
In fact this is a natural behaviour called the flehmen response.
Donkeys will curl up their lip and expose their front teeth if they smell something interesting or new.

Everyone loves C B he is just such a lovely character, If he is down the bottom of the field and you call him sure enough he will come to you straight away. He is very vocal, loves a good bum scratch and his special meals = Happy CB 🥰 ###

Bertie and Reggie 💙💕💙

Donkeys like to play -fight with each other, which involves rearing ( lifting both feet up in the air ),bucking ( kicking up both back feet behind them) nipping and chasing each other around.
It can look quite rough but it’s what they do these two where playing for ages 😁

The Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary Fundraiser Group formed by Carol and Paul McEwen is proving to be a great way for people to find quality preloved items at amazing prices whilst all proceeds going to help care for the donkeys… Wonderful 🤗

Thank you to Carol and her husband Paul for all their efforts and of course everyone that has supported it 🙏😊
Dudley & Charles and all the residents say a big…….. Hee Haw 💙💕💙

Two kissable noses …. Percy & Albie 💋

Honestly they are not silly they know if they wait at the gate ( which is by the feed store ) looking this sweet and innocent they will eventually get a treat 🥕🥕
Percy is a wise donkey he watches your every move,doesn’t like being approached to quickly or suddenly it makes him apprehensive and will shy away probably a reminder of the past?
He prefers to come to you when the mood takes him for a fuss 🤗

Albie well he is such an old head on young shoulders doesn’t do very much but he is happy and content he often enjoys the company of the oldies from time to time just chilling and eating 🥰

Goodness it’s the 1st of November already…. 😳 Hope you all have a great day folks take care xx

Whoo Hoo! The rain has stopped!!! 🤗😃

Rusty loves a facial…… 🥰 Hope you enjoy this little clip! We steam the donkeys hay to help reduce dust etc. it comes out of the steamer smelling malty and delicious and is of course lovely and warm, as soon as you make your way over to the shelters to put it in the troughs we are met by little Rusty who won’t let you pass without his daily ritual of rubbing his face all over it he absolutely loves it! It makes us smile every time 😊

Keeping themselves amused inside today with all this horrid wet weather 🌧 🌧 Pedro & Dylan 😂 love them 💕

Donkeys make us smile 🥰😊

Turn up the volume its a very vocal Dylan 😆 💕

The best thing for an itch is a scratch 🥰
