Baby Sarah was born on 9th of April which was Easter Monday. Her mother is Sinead, our big Irish donkey, and her father is Samson, one of our big French donkeys. She has a (little) big sister Baby Kiwi and a big brother Peter. Sinead's other foals were black but Sarah was born brindly grey so you can see Sammy's influence ! When she was about 3 months old she grew a long brown overcoat. We call it her dreadlocks - she's the scruffiest - and cutest - baby we have ever seen.

Here is Baby Sarah about an hour old. |
|
|
|
|
| Bart was the first to see her and she loved him! She sniffed him all over and followed him around.We think she will be his donkey. | Asleep in the straw...... |
|
|
| What a pretty foal ! |
Sarah 3 days old with Sinead |
| On her second day Sarah was ready to go out to the field in her baby-handle | Bunnies are always bouncy !! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Sarah sees Bart and comes running over ! |
|
When it started to rain we went to get them in . Sinead had parked her baby in the hedge to try to keep her dry. When she saw us she called Sarah out with a glance...... |
.....and gave her a nuzzle. |
|
|
|
|
Sarah always comes to Bart ! |
|
|
|
We handle her feet every day, picking them up, gently rubbing and patting them, so that she learns not to be afraid of giving them to us. |
|
|
|
 |
|
All that running about.........
....makes for a very sleepy foal! |

 |
|
A sunny day in May.
Everyone is dozing. Since she has chased him away Peter is not sure that Mother will let him touch the foal so he sneaks up very carefully for a sniff.... ..and everything is ok! |
|
|
<<<<< May 2 months old
>>>> She's getting bigger fast ! |
 |
|
Sarah is very curious. In June the lady with the weighbridge came ...and sarah has her nose in the car! She loves the barrel too and has thrown all the toys around. |
 |
|
Giffy the mule and Sarah is starting to go fluffy. |
|
She loves our helper Adrien because he loves brushing her. <<<<<She's really enjoying that - her head is half way to the floor ! |
 |
|
By August Sarah has got the hang |

 |
|
By October <<<< >>>>> |
 |
|
|
Out for a walk in the Hobby Drive |
|
November Sarah has her winter coat complete with dreadlocks and sideburns. She has a long mane and shaggy forehead. Is this just her foal coat or will she have it every winter? We don't know ! Her Dad Sammy has Poitou ancestors. Poitou donkeys have REALLY shaggy coats so you never know.... |
 |
|
Trouble is, she can't help looking scruffy ! Being a kid she's into everything. Here she's found some brick dust - and got herself a big red nose ! |
 |
