Roxie is currently being treated in one of our hospital boxes at Hannigan's farm. Our equine behaviourist introduced some strawberry jam ๐ as an enrichment treat to make her stay more positive. From her reaction, it's clear Roxie is enjoying it! ๐

From snow to sand, donkeys just love to roll! ๐ค Did you know? Donkeys roll around for a number of reasons, including to scratch their own backs or to clean their coats.
