Miniature donkeys are truly one of nature's cuddly toys. With their long elegant ears, gentle disposition and large liquid eyes,  they would have to be the most fascinating of animals.

Long known for their sure footedness they have been used over the centuries for negotiating the most inhospitable terrain including paths that overhang cliffs of immense proportions

As beasts of burden the donkey dates back to biblical times and beyond, carrying loads that would daunt other animals. Indeed even in the present days they are still the main form of transport in the middle east and vast areas of the south Americas

We would like to share some photos of our little donkey family with you.
