I wondered what this donkey was going to talk about at 11:30. Ends up he casually wandered around us listening to the talk to make sure the humans at the Donkey Sanctuary had their facts straight.
Here’s what I learned:
- They are smart, curious and not easily startled – so will stop to access an uncertain situation. Makes sense, but this is often mistaken for stubbornness.
- Donkeys in the UK and Europe have to have passports.
- They have great memories, remembering places and other donkeys from 25 years ago.
After the fantastic day I spent with these gentle creatures, if someone calls you a donkey, I believe it’s a compliment.

Loved your posting. i would repply but they keep asking for my password and then say it is wrong. Email me the race info again.
Way Ho and away we go,
Riding on a donkey!
