A FREE donkey care
workshop run by international animal welfare charity The
Donkey Sanctuary is being held in Colne Engaine on
Friday 17th June from 10am-4pm.
The charity is inviting
local donkey owners or anyone who is thinking of owning
a donkey to come along and spend a day on The ‘D is for
Donkey’ Tour, which covers diets, de-worming and daily
checks.
The tour will
be delivered by experts from the charity, which helps
hundreds of thousands of donkeys and mules every year
through 29 countries worldwide.
Ben Hart, the
Sanctuary’s donkey care training manager, says: “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?
“Join us for
more practical tips on feeding, and learn how to create
the correct diet for your donkey. We’ll also be
looking at parasite control including de-worming,
pasture management and learning how to assess your
donkey’s health and manage his daily care.”
These hands-on,
practical and interactive workshops are FREE and have
proven extremely popular in previous years so early
booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
The Donkey
Sanctuary also runs a foster scheme which gives fit and
healthy donkeys and mules the chance to experience the
individual care and attention that comes from being part
of a loving home.
If you think
you would like to attend one of the workshops or think
that you could provide a home for a pair of donkeys or
mules please call the Welfare and Advice team at The
Donkey Sanctuary on 01395 578222 for details.
