Through love and care, we get the best results from our equine friends
Horse and donkey provides information for individuals with practical advice on how to take care of members of the Equus genus family.
Stable Talk
The best way to learn is from the experience of others. This section aims to increase your knowledge and share our tips in a friendly virtual setting that you can access anywhere...
Pest Control
Dealing with equine pests is a daily challenge no matter what environment you live in. There is sure to be a pest of some sort hassling your four-legged friend, from flies, ticks, fleas..
Getting horse care information from a trusted source
With years of practical experience in equine care. From riding lessons to horse nutrition, equine behavior, and horse health.
We’ve gone through it all, fallen into all the traps, and made plenty of common mistakes.
But from those errors, we learned valuable lessons that we can pass on to you, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. We take great care to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information in every article.
One of the biggest lessons we have learned in our journey is to take every bit of advice with a pinch of salt. Everyone has an opinion, and some are not as open as others to new ideas or new ways of thinking.
So it would be foolish of us to claim we know everything about your trusted steed without ever seeing it.
Therefore although all care is taken to provide the best information, you should consider all the information on horses as general in nature, and individual circumstances, especially ones related to equine health. These must be directed to the appropriate specialist in the field who can examine your horse, environment, and needs.
What do we know about Donkeys?
While it is widely believed that Donkeys are stubborn, we know this stems from their intelligence. We also know that they are very kind creatures who for years have been the backbone of transporting goods along many dangerous and challenging paths across the globe.
While donkeys may not have the glamour of horses, they definitely have many likable attributes. The obvious ones that come to mind are their intelligence and loyalty.
They are often misunderstood and therefore mistreated.
Because of that, different considerations need to be taken into account when choosing to house a donkey one on your property through a donkey adoption program or just a general purchase.
We aim to give you the best advice we can to help you navigate through those early days so you can enjoy lifelong companionship and provide a safe environment for these often misunderstood animals.
