She spent all her life in the Zoo, and therefore has been looked after very well, we are homing her until
the Zoo is refurbished, and she is with the Miniature Donkeys.
She will get more care and attention than most animals, and is in great condition, all I really need is
advice on how to get her confidence and trust, so that I can walk her around the farm, and show her
to school children.
The Zoo are wonderful and the keepers are great, but the animals are left to their own devices and not
handled too often, only by vets and keepers who feed them. She is great at posing for photographs though
Joe kept horses most of his life, but he is so busy with the shop and markets and restaurants that the animals other than
pigs are now my responsibility to groom and train. I was kicked by a horse when I was Eleven, and so am a bit apprehensive.
Tara is more confident than me, as she is a natural rider and goes to riding school, but I want to calm her down
and get her trust before Tara goes plaiting her main etc.
She had a foal last year, and has only just been separated - which is another reason why shes a bit grumpy too.
Will persevere- love her to bits, and she loves the donkeys, and is very happy, just nervous as everything is new to
her.
