At approximately 30 years old, this is one of the oldest donkeys in the group. She was very thin, had neglected feet and had a severe skin condition when first rescued. She still has a long way to go before being an ideal body weight and her feet will never be perfect, but our farriers will do the best they can to make life more comfortable for her. She will be wearing a rug for the foreseeable future and is under close observation and treatment from our veterinary surgeons.
