Ebony
Ebony was one of the donkeys from Freshfields Donkey Sanctuary. After its closure in September 2014, she came to Flicka.
Ebony’s story is very sad - she was kept by a dealer who bred from her relentlessly; she had 13 foals in 13 years, each one taken away from her until she was finally rescued. Once removed to safety she became a surrogate mother to an orphan donkey called Conker (who is now also at Flicka). As a result of the over-breeding, she has a sway back and distended tummy,
looking as if she is in foal again.
Thank goodness Freshfields saved her. Sadly Ebony's life is not unusual - such cruelty to fuel such greed.
Ebony is a beautiful lady, very quiet, kind and gentle.
