HORSES AND DONKEYS AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORING

 


PHOENIX

Phoenix making a remarkable recovery


Phoenix - came to us very badly burnt. He came from a good home and he and his stable companion were lucky enough to have a stable each. Unfortunately a bush fire burned many of the houses in his village and his stable also caught fire. His stable companion died. Despite his severe burns, Phoenix wanted to live and though he is badly scarred and has lost both his ears, he has made a full recovery and is "the life and soul of the party" when out in his paddock. We are not sure yet whether his skin will ever be able to tolerate a harness, but if it doesn't he can have a career as a demonstration horse for our students.

Neil

NEIL

Neil - was purchased as a foal by one of our supporters who found him as a foal waiting to be sold for ploughing. Neil has grown up with us and performs many task including collecting fire wood and grass for the other animals in the yard. Last year he participated in a sponsored walk around The Gambia. He covered 930 kilometres and returned in superb condition.

As from September 2010, he is starting a new career as a school bus donkey and will be taking the nursery school children to and from school each day.

TALLAH

Tallah was brought to our centre with a very badly broken leg. The Trustees made the decision to purchase him, in order to avoid the problems that were felt to be inevitable if he was returned home.

Tallah has grown into a very powerful and good looking little stallion and we hope he will be able to do light duties for the Trust as a demonstration horse.

Rhona

RHONA

Rhona is a film star and appeared in a documentary made by BBC Scotland. She was brought to one of our village clinics and had been very badly beaten. She was also suffering from appalling harness wounds to her shoulders and was in a very sorry state.

Rhona made an excellent recovery and is destined to become our demonstration donkey.

MAXINE

Maxine came to us in poor condition with a badly strained back. She has made an excellent recovery, but she is a shy introverted little donkey.

She loves mothering either her own offspring or any other needy animal who needs her support. She is beginning a new career, along with Rhona and Neil, in becoming school bus donkeys and they will collect nursery school children from around the villages, take them to school each day and then return them home.
