The Donkey's Cross

22/06/2025

It has been a busy few weeks - lots of work resurfacing paddocks after this muddy winter, fixing our water hydrant that lost its battle with the ice, fixing fencing, painting fences and all on top of the general donkey care lol... today it is getting ready for the heat wave and updating the "body clip" on a few of our residents to help with the heat...

BUT... the big news is....

Welcome Luigi!!!

Luigi is an adorable and in your pocket spotted little boy who came to us as an owner surrender after his bff passed - we tried to help his owner find a perfect match for him with a family but nothing worked out for him ... so here he is 🙂

He has found a friend in Lloyd and is in love with a big coal black morgan mare named R***r - so seems like we were the right fit after all 🙂

He is a sweet little dreamer so his first portrait (thanks AI) is in a field of posies

More on Luigi later... Lloyd is teaching him Amazon wish list tech

We are transitioning to a new fundraising platform so that larger portions of the donations reach the donkeys. We will keep our gofundme platform for those who prefer but Zeffy allows us to set up recurring donations so you can fund your favorite donkey as often as you like :)
