I’m Karen and have been running Donkeys for Therapy and Fun for over 12 years. We have a few special miniature Donkeys and Ponies that have been trained for the use of therapy animals for care homes, nursing homes and SEN schools. Along with our therapy animals we offer event hire for weddings, parties, fetes and any special occasions. Please note no animals can be ridden.

We would like to thank all the people that have donated to the donkeys
With your kind donations we have made the fields safer place for the donkeys and volunteers and visitors
Last year was awful and so dangerous
We have now replaced mats in the stables .got outside matting and astro turf and this week josh has fitted this down and the donkeys love it Hoping to have everything finished this week
We could not have done this without you.
Also this week our charity application will be going in and we hope tbis goes through
This will hopefully make sure the donkeys will be safe secure for life.
I have worked so hard past 15 years to give donkeys a good safe cared for life
I want this to proceed for them to live happy

I started with donkeys 15 years ago starting with 2 as pets for my grandson over the years I h… Karen Rust needs your support for Donkeys for therapy and fun

We would like to say a massive thankyou to all the people that helped us so much in donating to the donkeys
We have been able to purchase new stable matting. Mats to stop the mud and covered areas in astro turf which now is used alot in equestrian as stops the mud areas
So thanks to josh that has worked so hard on his own lifting all these heavy matting and turf
Worked tirelessly this week .
Without you all we could not have made this safe for the winter for our donkeys
Last year was horrendous it was bad for tbe donkeys and volunteers and I had fell face first about three times .
THANKYOU
