Everything you need to know for the lifelong welfare of your donkeys and mules in in the Donkey Care Handbook.

Caring for donkeys and mules can be a life-enhancing experience and one that we hope we can make easier and more enjoyable for both you and your donkeys and mules by sharing the knowledge and experience we have gained in over 40 years of rescuing and caring for them.

There is a tendency to treat donkeys as if they are small horses with big ears but donkeys are different! They differ both physically and in their behaviour. Millions of years ago donkeys and horses had the same ancestors, but they evolved to be very different species. Understanding these differences is of vital importance to the correct care and welfare of donkeys.

As someone who is already willing to put donkeys first, second and third, please consider making a donation that will enable us to help donkeys like those already in our care.

Just £5 covers the production cost of this handbook and allows us to produce and share more learning resources that help donkeys and mules worldwide.
