Donkeys may be known for their calm, stoic nature but they are far more athletic than you may realise! 🏃
While they often prefer a steady pace of life, donkeys are perfectly capable of picking up speed when the moment calls for it, whether that's during a moment of play or to escape danger.

It's been a challenging week at our sanctuaries in Devon as Storm Chandra battered the county, but through the wind and rain, our dedicated teams have ensured that every donkey has had the care they need. 🌧️

It’s Donkey Fact Friday! Did you know that donkeys have near 360 degree vision, which helps them to spot danger before it gets close? 👀
But, with blind spots directly behind and in front of them, they can get startled if approached suddenly from these directions.
