About

Welcome! We are a not for profit organisation that offers a range of experiences to enable people to learn about and interact with miniature donkeys. All of the money raised is spent on food and care for the donkeys, the staff are all volunteers.

 

We are delighted to offer a range of experiences based at our woodland near Solihull. Each experience involves a small group size which gives you the opportunity to get to know the donkeys close up (we usually run with under 10 people, often less). The experiences involve some or all of our lovely miniature donkeys – Thomas, Grace, Florence, Bertram, Storm, James, Beatrice (aka Daisy B) and baby Harriet. (To be honest, most involve all of them as donkeys have a fear of missing out, so they like to be involved even if their presence isn’t strictly required!)

 

We are often asked to take the donkeys off site to schools, groups, care homes etc and are delighted to do this. We have even taken donkeys to the funeral of a local lady who had had a lifelong love of donkeys!

 

Anyway, whichever experience you choose, we hope that you will learn a lot about donkeys and have plenty of quality time to get to know these lovely, calming animals whether walking, grooming or handling them.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

 

Ian, Charlotte and the Team at The Donkeys
