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.
Coco and Josh

Coco and josh are great mates! Can’t separate them! Hope you had lovely Christmas. Many Thanks once again XXX
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
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

Absolutely love my donkeys!

They are winning over my very reluctant husband with there charm and cheeky personalities.

Everyone who visits the farm adores them and they are perfect therapy for our care farm.

zoie has worked with us to find the perfect combination that works for us.

zoie helped by giving one of the donkeys a holiday at there place , where they put in extra handling and work to make her easier for us who are inexperienced.

Thanks for everything and cant wait for our miniature to arrive.

Donkeys are addictive but so rewarding,they are such friendly loving gentle animals......with cheeky naughty streak to keep me on my toes

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.

I have no hesitation in recommending Zoie and Donkeys of Wales to anyone wanting to own a donkey. - Enid Gwillim Ystradgynlais

Gordon arrived here in Ireland a few weeks ago and we are delighted with him. Buying him from Zoie was straight forward and transaction went smoothly. What helped a lot along the way was the easy communication with Zoie. Having our questions answered beforehand reassured us that we should take on Gordon and we haven’t regretted it one bit. Gordon is gorgeous happy health boy! Thanks Zoie

Antony Ford

Just a quick note to say thank you for all your help and support regarding the purchase of our three little baby Donkeys. After there long journey from Wales up to the Midlands region of England they have settled in a treat and becoming proper little celebrities throughout our village. Having their mothers travelling with them on the journey and staying with us here whilst the babies settle in was a wonderful idea. The Mothers are enjoying their holidays and Syd, Summer & Sky (the babies) are becoming right little characters and are growing in to lovely donkeys. I would strongly recommend Donkeys of Wales, lovely caring people offering wonderful help and support. - Antony Ford Rugby, England

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
