West Yorkshire

[Sundae]

These donkeys were in the Stable Yard. Others were out to pasture, and six were actually in inside, in the ring (?) where a session was underway.
There was a blanket ban on photos in there, which I understand - it's not just where vulnerable children ride, it's where vulnerable animals are trained.

My photos make these animals look a little sorry and world-weary, but they were well cared for and obviously loved humans. I just forgot to take photos when I was approached by them! Those within the yard were free to move about.



A whole Donkey Sanctuary and Cherry finds a cat.
Go figure.
A gorgeous boy. Bet he's a good mouser too.


It's only a couple of miles off the X84 bus route, but if you ignore things like power lines (and the occasional car) it could be in a different time.
