With the World Cup well under way, football mania has even rubbed off on us donkeys!

So many visitors have been talking about the World Cup lately that I decided to see what all the fuss was about and practise a few ball skills myself As you can see from my video, I’m a pretty talented donkey and can lend my hoof to most things!

I have not had much time to write my diary over the last few weeks as there has been so much going on at the Adoption paddock! First, Busby and I were the star attractions during a ‘Help for Heroes’ sponsored cycle ride and then the big Marquee went up, signalling the start of Donkey Week. I was just settling down to some rest and relaxation time in the field, when I spotted one of my grooms coming towards me with a head collar. For a moment, I thought she must have confused me with one of the younger donkeys and be taking me down to work in the Slade Centre.

I probably don’t need to introduce myself as I’ve been at the Slade Centre for donkeys’ years now, but in case you don’t know me; I am Daniel P, the tallest and oldest donkey at EST Sidmouth!
