Donkey has some new friends and finally some company of her own kind! We have brought in a group of donkeys who we are training to lead a Donkey Cart which will carry our volunteers, supervised by Bushman worker Soloman, around the border fence each day.
Thank you so much to Sarah Stapleton for raising the funds for the Stapleton Express donkey cart! Thanks to the painting by the volunteers and repairs from Hardus and the Bushman it looks great and is providing a great service.
It is important that the border fence is checked for holes or any damage that may have been caused by animals overnight and that repairs are made immediately. So we’ve introduced the Donkey Cart as an economical and environmentally friendly way of circulating the border to carry out this work. We’re hoping our loveable Donkey will be trained to lead the cart one day - it’ll keep her out of mischief on the farm at least!
She has also been moved to the kraal where she now lives with the other donkeys and seems very happy with her new friends.
