Colin

The Gentle Old Soul

14 years old, Colin is the calm and steady half of the pair — gentle, patient, and full of quiet affection. He’s the kind of donkey who loves a slow scratch behind the ears and a peaceful stroll through the pasture. But don’t be fooled — when Densel wants to play, Colin can still kick up his heels and join in with a youthful spark that surprises everyone!

Donkies

Donkeys Are Incredibly Smart

They have excellent memories and can recognize places and other donkeys they haven’t seen for years.

Different from Horses

Donkeys are stronger for their size, have larger ears for heat regulation, and are more independent thinkers.

Bonding Matters

Donkeys form very strong friendships — often in lifelong pairs. They can become stressed without a companion.

Hardy and Resilient

Originally from desert environments, donkeys are naturally tough and have efficient digestive systems.

Love to Play

Especially when young or in good company, donkeys enjoy play-fighting, chasing, and rolling in the dust.

Incredibly Vocal

Known for their iconic “bray,” donkeys use their voices to communicate across long distances.

Live Long Lives

With proper care, donkeys can live 30+ years, making them long-term companions.
