Donkeys living their best lives
There's Still Plenty Of Life In Them YetThere's Still Plenty Of Life In Them YetOur OAP herd were treated to a day out this week during the drier weather, and it's safe to say, they absoloutely loved it! They like to remind us that they've still got plenty of life and energy in them!Our oldies may be aging, losing teeth, have aching joints, and need all of those extra meals, but they still love to run around, chasing and playing with eachother. We love to see this herd so happy and full of life.Posted by Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary on Wednesday, February 9, 2022
