Today we are celebrating the life of this wonderful woman, Rita Warby. We met Rita when we took the donks to the U3A meeting in Thetford. We obviously made an impact on her because when she sadly passed away her daughter found our flyers and some items from our Minidonk pop up shop. Huge thanks to her daughter, Kim, for organising donations to Minidonks in memory of her mum, and to all those friends and family who donated so generously. In consultation with Kim, we have decided that we will use the donations to offer some discounted Minidonk visits to care settings in and around Thetford. The normal booking procedures apply, and we are fully booked until February .
Each home that we visit will receive a special certificate in Rita’s name. We will be able to offer up to 4 discounted visits.
If you know a care setting that might benefit, please ask them to email us, info@minidonks.org.uk and we will do the rest.
Sending love and thanks to Rita’s family and friends ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful picture love xxx 💖💖💖
Wonderful to think that in Rita's memory she will be making more special memories for others to cherish. ♥️
What a lovely photo and such a thoughtful way to use the legacy
Sometimes it is better to let other people tell you what they think about you. We are so very proud of this feedback - thank you to everyone at Chilton Court for welcoming us into their very special home.
We are booked for visits now until February 2022, so if you would like some of this Minidonk Magic, send us an email and we’ll get you booked in.
Happy Sunday to you all. Xxxx

We’re about more than just the donkeys here at Minidonk HQ. Four years ago, the MD saw a post about a scared, nervous ex-hunting dog from Spain. When she phoned the rescue to ask about him they were so happy to have an enquiry about him because he was so nervous that he would run and hide when anyone came to the rescue centre and no one had looked past that. We took Nino to meet him and she was the key - silly, lovely, woolly-headed Nino taught him that we were OK. She provided the company, the love, the warmth to help him take his time to come to trust us. You will have seen his photos in amongst the donkey posts. He takes his duties as Head of Security very seriously - none shall pass without us knowing about it! Our Minidonk volunteers have helped him to learn that people are pretty much all good. His circle of friends and trusted hoomans is so much wider thanks to Minidonks. So today we say Happy 4 years with us Busso.
Show us your doggos !

We have been having such a busy time recently. We have been all over Norfolk and Suffolk, visiting care homes and schools. Our feedback has been 5*, with one lovely activity coordinator amending our feedback form to give us a 10* rating “because 5 stars are just not enough!” The MD was reduced to tears by one lovely young man, who asked his teacher if he could do a thank you speech on behalf of the group. He was so happy and gave a beautiful and spontaneous vote of thanks - magical. We are now fully booked for visits until February 2022. We still have funding available to discount the cost of visits to settings for younger people and to subsidise our travel costs for all settings in East Cambridgeshire. So if you think you would like the Minidonks to visit in 2022 email us info@minidonks.org.uk and we’ll get you booked in! And you might be as excited as NIHCSS!So excited to announce that we have the Mini Donks coming to our supported living sites in October and November! Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing
Love to you guys from Michigan, USA, important work you do, changing the world one visit at a time..
A little ode to the coming winter on this thoughtful Thursday….
Up in the cold and the wet with the starlings
All for the sake of the four legged darlings
Come wind come rain come frost and ice
The donks all need to be snuggled up nice
Gordon comes first then donkeys then dogs
Hoomans would rather be sleeping like logs
Breakfast is served for the animules first
Richard and Sarah increasing their thirst
Then inside with feet up and hot cup of tea
Gordon just wants to go out for a wee
Busso won’t settle until he is cuddled
Nino as usual is terribly muddled
Would we change it for comfort and rich easy living
Never not ever we’re even forgiving
Of the cold and the wet and the house full of mud
Cos it’s our special life and it’s really quite good!
Well done! That's brilliant. 💕
Good morning Team Mini Donks - Hope you have a fantabulous day 💜💜💜
Do so love an ode... brilliant job. x
Absolutely brilliant x love it x happy thoughtful Thursday x sending lots of dry cuddles for you all xx 💕🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💕
Brilliant. Brought a smile to my face 😄. Nutmeg, our puppy, has decided she likes being dried off with a towel when she comes in from the rain. So far this morning she has ‘needed’ to go out 5 times already, just so she can be dried when she comes in!! 🐶🐾☔️
What a wonderful start to the day. xx
Have a lovely day x ❤🐾🥰
It must be the 20th of the month because Maude has sent me a little video 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations to our winners, 1st Chris Carpenter 68 2nd Jack Little 57 and 3rd Angie Graystone 88...
Your winnings will be winging their way to you very soon!
Have a great day xxx
Aww very sweet ❤🐾🥰
We've been doing a bit of donkey training, which is always good fun! We are working on some "jump" training. Here is a little video of Jack getting to grips with the concept of going over, not round. As with everything we do we take it slowly with lots of positive rewards. Hickstead here we come? 🤣🤣🤣
Well done Little Jack Rabbit and Sarah too xx Happy Tuesday xx 💖💖
Bless him well done Jack
Clever Jack rabbit.
Adorable x
Sarah I think you are having more fun than Jack. Lovely videos x
We were doing this the other day with a friend's donkeys - most of them have done agility for years but there is always something they don't like!!
So cute.
Well done to you both. xx
Yippeeee . Well done gorgeous boy x
Well done Jack. What yummy was his treat. X
Aw! Love the way he thought about going round the side. Bless him! We’ll done Little Jack Rabbit! 🥰Xx
I’ve gone right back into the archives to share these photos of Pippin. Now, at Minidonks, we don’t have favourites, but Pippin has a special place in my heart ❤️ She is the first donkey we ever bred. Saffy’s first foal, and she has made so many people happy over her 6 years. Well, the news is…….. she is in foal!!! After an intitial negative pregnancy test, and her recent liver issues, she has tested pregnant after a second, later test. So, we will be continuing with her special liver supplement, our vets at Stoven Hall Veterinary and Rehabilitation Centre will be taking their usual special, loving care (I think Annabel is as excited as we are!) and we will be looking forward to a micro Minidonk in May/June 2022.
Good news Monday!
