Farrier Day

Yesterday was farrier day at our place and sometimes there is little need for words when pictures tell a good story.
Our farrier brings a sense of curiosity, excitement and sometimes a little dread to the donkeys, but they are always interested in what he is doing, especially when it is not their turn!


Ginger had the most fun with him and decided to playfully take advantage of a great target!

Our farrier told me he has the most fun trimming these little donkeys after dealing with large horses. Yesterday was no exception and we had some good laughs while he worked.

While sitting down to rest after the back bending work, he was warmly thanked by Ladybug. Ahh, gotta love em!

Springtime is always such a pretty time of year and the perfect excuse for a picnic in the yard. We were delighted to have some family and friends with their precious children share a beautiful afternoon with us last week. It was a good opportunity to visit the animals and learn a little more about donkeys. The children were gentle and enjoyed the hands on time. The donkeys, always ready for attention and love, enjoyed it, too!

Easter

While pretending their brother, unable to be with us, was in this picture with our son and daughter, we realized Bamboo made a great stand in!
