After watching a video about general donkey care and paddock maintenance, Liz showed us how to put on a head collar (see photo above).
A sumptuous lunch was laid on and we all sat around enjoying a well earned break in the sunshine.
After lunch we all went out to the field and put what we had learnt into practice. Liz explained the importance of going up to the donkey in a calm way as well as a sneaky tip - hide the head collar as you approach!
We had a go at leading.....
......and grooming......
At the end of the day the kids arrived for more grooming and Liz gave them some basics tips about donkey handling.
We all had a great day. Thanks so much to everyone who participated.
