Donkey Facts
For thousands of years donkeys have been the 'helping hooves' of humankind - they are the original beasts of burden. In many countries of the world, and in many situations, they are used as the preferred mode of transport. Donkeys are much more of an all terrain animal than horses. Donkeys are in fact a highly intelligent animal despite popular misconception. (except for the nikki noodle breed)


Donkeys can live for over 50 years
Donkeys are very strong and intelligent


A donkey is stronger than a horse of the same size.

Donkeys have an incredible memory - they can recognise areas and other donkeys they were with up to 25 years ago.
Donkey characteristics


Donkeys are not easily startled (unlike horses) and have a keen sense of curiosity.

Donkeys have a reputation for stubbornness but this is due to their highly developed sense of self preservation. It is difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it sees as contrary to its own best interest or safety.

Donkeys are more independent in their thinking than horses and will reason, then make decisions based on their safety.

Training a donkey relies upon showing him or her, by words and action, that they can trust you to protect them from harm. They learn what it is we want them to do if we take time to show them.
