The Donkeys
Stepping out. The lesson.
Primary School fun. A new fly rug.
Arcadia makes me smile.
Arcadia is an 11hh brown Irish donkey who is particularly sensitive to drive. As such she is an excellent team leader and the only donkey that can keep up with Hapgood who is also very sharp. She is very inquisitive and keen to communicate her thoughts. This makes learning for the client and the donkey a fascinating experience as progression is entirely dependent upon building a good relationship. She also competes regularly and therefore challenges the more able driving pupil.
