Ken believes Rocky will have no trouble with the donkeys. He says equines can sense things like aging, and even blindness. Rocky is not likely to challenge them, or them him.  In fact, he said (and I have seen research on this) donkeys will be very protective of horses who are impaired. He agreed with me that they ought to be separate for a week or so, but he said he didn’t expect any trouble at all. I don’t either. They will be in separate fences and pastures for awhile.

Lulu and Fanny give Simon a hard time sometimes but Simon is a pest. Unlike Simon, Rocky has always been well cared for and loved. He has spent much time along in recent years, and hopefully, that will change soon.
