How lucky were we when our wonderful farrier Gareth said he may know of someone that could be interested in our lovely Daffodil. A client of his, that already had 2 donkeys and 2 horses, (one of which has Cushings disease) had been talking of expanding their herd. We got

Our beautiful babies have finally gone to their lovely new home. It’s been a long haul for their owners Kelly and Mike as they fell in love with Rupert and Smartie when they first started volunteering at HeeHaws. But they had just starting the house buying process so it would

In August 2022 we were called out on many occasions to help catch 3 donkeys wandering the country lanes. It’s amazing they didn’t cause an accident or get hurt. They were shy, scared of people, and just ran off whenever we approached them. The mayors of two communes were involved

Fern and Woody were 2 gorgeous young donkeys that were abandoned in a forest, just left there to fend for themselves. They were afraid of people and especially the farrier. They had  issues around having their feet trimmed, but we and the farrier  worked very hard to teach them that

Theo & Willow were both born here at HeeHaws. The fate that had been awaiting their mums, Lottie and Holly, doesn’t bear thinking about. When they arrived here, already in foal, they were very nervous around people. It took quite some time to help them learn to trust but thankfully

Betty and Florence arrived here with Maggie and Mabel, in June 2021. Headed for the meat wagon they were intercepted thankfully and came here, to a place of love and safety. Given what they had been through, these young donkeys were very kind and trusting. We always ensure that all

Darling Maggie and little Mabel arrived at HeeHaws with Betty and Florence in June 2021. Headed for the meat wagon they were intercepted thankfully and came here, to a place of love and safety. Mabel was only 5 when she arrived at HeeHaws, she was such a quiet, sweet soul.

Lottie and Wilfred came to HeeHaws with their friends Norman and Hector, in February 2019, having had a very close call with the “meat man”. They had had a traumatic time and were all fearful in their own way. Wilfred didn’t like anyone to touch his legs and feet. Gareth

At the beginning of November 2019, we were asked to go to see two donkeys in a field an hour away. Nothing prepared us for what we were about to see and hear. Two lovely ladies who lived opposite the field discovered that not only had the owner died but

In December 2019 Holly and her foal Caspar, and their friends Angel and Cracker were a sorry sight indeed. Having been bred for meat, they were booked onto the one-way lorry to Italy along with many others. Thankfully, they were saved from that fate by another sanctuary. They were then

Holly came to Heehaws in January 2019 with her baby Caspar, and their friends Angel and Cracker. Holly was in a terrible state, suffering from extreme neglect. She was very underweight, full of worms, and had bad rain scald. The vet said they were lucky they were rescued when they

UPDATE: Sadly Merlin, passed away in 2019. His obesity and neglect had taken its toll and he lost his battle for life. Belle also passed away in September 2020. The grand old lady that she was, had lost weight and condition despite every effort to give her the best feed.

Meet Hannah Hannah went to her first owners, Carole and Ian, when she was a baby of 6 months and stayed there until 2018. She had a charming and dear companion in a horse. They had a good life and were well loved.  Unfortunately, her owners became poorly so it
