The donkeys are late shedders, they will have their summer coats by mid-August, and start growing their fur back for the winter in late October. Maria brushes them every morning, they love to be groomed and wait for her to come out The flies have started to hatch, and it is nasty out in the pasture on warm days like today.

We love caring for the donkeys, these two sisters are gentle and patient, and they need human attention, at their own time, on their own terms.
