Elisabeth Svendsen Trust

Wayne is a skewbald gelding, who was born in 1996. He was taken into the care of The Donkey Sanctuary, our sister charity, in 2004 with his donkey companion, Garth. Both donkeys had previously been bought by a very kind couple who had been concerned for their welfare.

Wayne goes out in the community as well as riding therapy for our centre. He mainly visits residential homes but he also visits schools and has also been to church!

When our donkeys visit new homes, we often take Wayne first as Snowy is still learning.

Both Wayne and Snowy behave well when travelling and enjoy the attention they get from the residents. They especially like the gardens of the homes as they can nibble the grass on the way out!

Wayne always seems to enjoy himself - and we have discovered why. Recently he was seen staring intently at a large plasma screen television in the lounge of one of the residential homes. He would obviously be a television addict if given the opportunity!
