They are so rewarding and wonderful pets to have! We love them - Regards Tina

  • Wendy

    Just received tom a beautiful donkey from zoie as a companion fo alfie my other donkey. Thank you zoie for a first class service nothing was to much bother.

  • Teddy

    After several phone conversations with Zoie I finally met her and her beautiful donkeys, one donkey kept walking up to me and the upshot was that he came home with us the same day. Teddy is a well balanced full of fun little boy and that is all thanks to Zoie and her dedication and well planned breeding programme. Zoie knows each and every one of her donkeys and can tell you the parentage of each one. I have no hesitation in recommending Zoie and Donkeys of Wales to anyone wanting to own a donkey. - Enid Gwillim Ystradgynlais

  • Ffion

    Thank you so much for Ffion, she has settled in beautifully with our other donkey. You couldn't have been more helpful or enthusiastic in your dealings with us. Delivery was simple and your help and advice was invaluable and we will be getting more advise from you in the near future, especially over Ffion's foaling. All round great service. Thanks again - Lynn and Andy

  • Wispa and Ruffle

    These two gorgeous donkeys have recently become part of our family. They have lovely temperaments, who are a pleasure to have around. Zoie has given us great support and advice while getting us all settled into family life. They are very friendly clearly showing all the love and care Zoie has given them. I will definitely contact donkeys of wales in the future, when possible more donkey friends are needed. Thank you zoie xxx - Mrs Lucy Edwards - Pontypridd South Wales - September 2016

  • 2 Donkeys to Scotland

    Many thanks for the two lovely wee donkeys. Both are adorable and have sweet natures. Were sent up to Scotland within a few days and Zoie has been very helpful with any questions. Would recommend x. - Karen

  • Standard Donkeys

    My husband and I recently moved from a city flat to a small holding near Pontypridd. We like animals and wanted to have some to keep the grass down and become part of the family. My husband contacted zoie burton from donkeys of wales. Zoie was quick to respond with some valuable advice and following on from this we purchased two donkeys from her. They have become good friends and part of the family too. I had a few quires along the way regarding looking after the donkeys and their behaviour, where information was not easily accessible on the internet and Zoie was very helpful in offering advice to us. If you are thinking about having a donkey, I would recommend DONKEYS OF WALES.

  • Alice and Coco

    Alice and Coco are lovely donkeys. They came to me well cared for and with super temperaments. Zoie is very knowledgeable on all aspects of donkey care. Highly recommended!

  • Bertie and Arthur

    Hi Zoie, its haf from betws Y coed. Just to let you know that Bertie and Arthur are settling in brilliantly. Both of them are gorgeous and very friendly, as described . We have all fallen for them big time!!! Their new shelter is ready for them, they went in straight away. thanks again!

  • Christmas Fun Day 2015

    A BIG thank you to donkeys of wales for coming to our Christmas fun day (2015) at the national waterfront museum, Swansea. Zoie and the team were a delight to work with on the build up to the event. On the day there beautiful dinky donkeys stole the show! It was a very busy event (over 2,000 visitors) and we were very impressed at how calm and well behaved the donkeys were.

  • Colette

    Returning to Zoie for a second time to add to my donkey collection, she has made my dream come true in owning a Poitou. Colette is the most special, beautiful girl and has settled into the herd with no problems at all. Zoie's friendliness and honesty is second to none. Thank you xx - Shirley

  • Radio Wales

    hi Zoie, well done on your interview on Radio Wales this morning, you came over really well and it was so nice to hear you talking so enthusiastically about the donkeys. Sorry I haven't been in touch for quite some time. Teddy is 4. this year - where has the time gone? anyway Teddy has been having lessons from Catrin John Wayne horse trainer (look her up on Facebook) we hope to do some nativity and school visits with him, Catrin can't believe how intelligent he is, he's learning so fast, she's been here to work with him a few times and he will soon be going home with her for some intensive training. take care of yourself - Enid Gwillim from Ystradgynlais

  • Barney

    In September 2011 I was searching for a companion for my jenny. I found the perfect soul mate for her - Barney! He has been amazing in every way. I would highly recommend Zoie to anyone who was hoping to purchase a donkey. Zoie has helped me with any query I had, with both of my donkeys, and I know she is only a phone call away. Thank you very much for all your help! - Gabrielle

  • Snowy And Daisy

    I would highly recommend buying from this lady! I had snowy a white gelding for a year and half he is amazing, he was exactly as described and very good to lead excellent temperament, especially good with children. I then purchased daisy most recently and yet again a beautiful jenny, zoie was extremely honest about her , no problems. Daisy has a personality like you wouldn't believe, both my donkeys are beautiful and will be with me forever!! Snowy the gelding is extremely well known and is rather famous in Merthyr Mawr village, with hundreds of people having photos with him [he likes to pose] . He has also featured in the vale life magazine. The donkeys have a regular flow off visitors both adult and children and both are extremely gentle and very loving. If you want a safe beautiful donkey that is exactly as described then this is your lady. - Mel Merthyr Mawr
