Gordon

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

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
Primrose

Hi Zoie, just to thank you again for Primrose and her subsequent offspring Duggie. What can I say thank you thank you thank you. Duggie has now been weaned and castrated so both he and primrose are back together again. I love Primrose so much and you were right we are growing together and her foal is fantastic. They are very frighteningly clever and have taught them a few tricks but sometimes think they are cleverer than I am. Thank you so much Zoie for Primrose (Cariad)
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

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
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.
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.
Molly

Thank you for the safe delivery of molly!

She has only been with us a couple of days, but she's already won a place in our hearts.

Molly is a dear soul with a wonderful temperament who has settled immediately due to Zoies expert handing and experience.

Zoie is fair and very helpful with so m utch great advice to share.

I would highly recommend the service she gives, Plus her donkeys are beautiful! xxx
