The adoption of Sgt Pepper is a present made by Kate Burge for Pamela Reid. What a lovely gesture! Sgt Pepper came all the way from Curacao and was allowed to start a new blood line. Unfortunately he wasn't fertile,so he had a very nice year before we found out: NO babies.

Kate Burge from Australia adopted Gypsy. She saw her in the stables and wants to know how she gets on over the next 12 months! For now she is still recovering from being very very sick last August. It will take time. We are not in a hurry. Let her take all the time she needs. 

Nick Lokshin and his wife came to visit Thistle, their adoption donkey. Because they love this place and because Chocolat is very goofy they decided for another adoption. He tilts his head in a certain way. We cannot ignore him!

Julia Helmsteadt adopted Riba who came to us in 2008 when she still was a baby. She was hit by a car and broke her upper hind leg close to the hip. It wasn't operable so we locked her up in a small stable so that she wouldn't try to run until she was healed. She has a crooked butt but doesn't limp at all.
