Hi,
I was reading your original posts about Bernard and happened across the comment in which you were celebrating because Nigel let you touch him… I have a rescued donkey – named Paco – who will let me touch and caress him but no one else. I am worried about how to get him vet care and hoof care. He was ‘captured’ and sedated for a gelding operation and hoof care (his turned up) and had his teeth filed because they were cutting his cheeks every time he chewed. How long did it take Nigel to accept farrier and vet care? Do you have any tips for me? I love reading your blog!

I’m always amazed at the affection the donks seem to have for one another. I don’t remember seeing any horses behave this way.

When you are given love, you can’t help but return it. The MB farm donkeys are giving back what they get.

Wendy,
Glad you found the information on Nigel’s post. We know you and Paco will do great! Paco is a very lucky boy to have found you. 🙂
