Poppy
Poppy arrived here in 2009 from the former eastern bloc. She had been in the UK for a year, we don’t know where, and came to Flicka with William and her daughter Honey; she is bonded with both of them.
Initially Poppy was extremely stressed and distressed, she was very traumatised and did a lot of stereotypical head waving and pacing. We will probably never know her story and perhaps it’s as well we don’t...
It took a lot of time, patience and understanding, but Poppy is a very happy donkey now!
