Yesterday, we popped over to Trow Farm to take this picture of Hannah Sykes with one of our lovely donkeys, Cocoa. She’s written a lovely blog for you all... enjoy!

This Valentine's Day I saved a kiss for Henry the mule! Henry is 29 years' old and lives at Town Barton Farm. Henry absolutely loves to kiss people; he likes to nuzzle his top lip on the lucky recipients chin!

In early August, Andrew spent a day here at the Sanctuary and met (amongst many others) a truly serene and gentle friend. Having taken some photos, Andrew sent one to us to see if we could put a name to the donkey. The tell-tale ears were a clue and the grooms at Trow Farm were able to confirm that it was Harvey.

You will probably be envious reading my blog today, but with glorious sunshine, there's only one thing to do ... go and take photos of donkeys of our resident donkeys!

I met a great little donkey called Sigitu today and I couldn’t stop giving him cuddles! He’s a 17-year old skewbald gelding who lives near our main Sanctuary in Sidmouth.

Trow Farm, which is adjacent to Slade House Farm, is the largest of all our farms with an enormous 106 hectares (261 acres) and is managed by Alan Brown with 7 full-time staff. The farm was purchased in 1997 and is mainly agricultural based providing the hay and straw for donkeys on the other farms.
