Ruby & Rupert
Ruby arrived in October 2010 with her foal at foot, Rupert, after weeks of being incarcerated in the back of a lorry they were brought to the UK. Ruby was very thin, on arrival she did not seem well at all, she seemed listless and disinterested in everything including the food we tried to tempt her with. Ruby stood in the corner of the stable with her head down and didn't even want to let her young foal feed, she seemed very tired.
We had several vet visits; it was decided not to try and force any medications into her as this would probably traumatise her further. It was the right thing to do, after a few days Ruby started to take more interest. A few weeks on, Mum and Rupert were doing very well, Rupert is a very bright inquisitive donkey and loves his friend Fabrice, the foal of Matilda.
What we didn't know for sure was that Ruby was in foal again.......................!!!
August brought us totally unexpected arrival of 'Jeremy'!
