Grooming The Donkeys

You must brush a Donkey everyday.

It is very important so that it can remove mud and Burs (Burs are a type of thorns). Some of the Donkeys are really soft because they were better taken care of than others. Some of them felt horrible because they are very dirty and haven't been well taken care of because they were new.

They also have to have there hooves cleaned. The person who does that is called a "Farrier". They have to be cleaned quite a lot. You also need to clean their eyes, thats also very important otherwise dust and dirt will get in and there eyes and will get infected. It's the same thing with the hooves. Except the hooves will get sores and go all gross.

We'll see you all next wednesday for another post from the The Donkey World.

Bye!

The Trip to the Donkey Sanctuary

On Saturday our computer club went up to Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary for our outing. when we got there I saw two of my friends Cush and Keziah. The first thing we did there was doing some exercises with Patricia (she was one of the people that showed us the donkeys).It looks beautiful outside the fence there were benches and there was a restraunt and beautiful ground and green grass.There will be more next week Wednesday.
