The Donkey Sanctuary has announced its 2011 workshop tour dates.
The new “D is for Donkey” tour is a series of free donkey care workshops to be held across the UK.
Experts from the charity will cover diet, worming and daily checks.
“We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you are what you eat’, but have you ever stopped to think exactly how this may also be true for your donkey?” said Ben Hart the Sanctuary’s donkey care training manager.
“We will be giving practical tips on feeding and showing how to create the correct diet for your donkey. We’ll also be looking at parasite control including worming, pasture management and learning how to assess you donkey’s health and manage his daily care.”
