This half term equine welfare charity Bransby Horses is running a ‘Do You Know Your Donkeys’ activity aimed at young children, taking them around the pathways where they will meet rescued horses, ponies, mules and of course donkeys.
Donkeys are very much in the spotlight right now thanks to their role in two of the most celebrated films released this year: British-Irish director Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin and Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski’s EO.
Bransby Horses press officer Maria Thompson said: “Donkeys, it seems, are having a moment right now. Sadly, we continue to see neglected and unwanted ones on a regular basis and we hope a visit to Bransby Horses will help raise awareness of their needs.
“Donkeys’ needs are quite different to those of horses and ponies and visitors can find out more on a visit this half term. We are always on the end of the phone to offer advice and guidance to owners and for anyone interested in seeing the ones we care for; we would encourage them to come and visit – you might even get a Hee Haw.”
The Bransby Horses ‘Do You Know Your Donkeys?’ activity will be on until the end of the month and for March, families can enjoy a new activity which will see a switch from donkeys to dragons. These activities are £3.50 and include a special prize at the end.
Bransby Horses near Lincoln is open Wednesday to Sunday 10am – 4pm and during school holidays it is open seven days a week, Monday to Sunday, 10am – 4pm.
