About Richie
Richie is an inquisitive skewbald donkey who loves to make his presence felt! He is a handsome and well-liked fellow.
Sadly, Richie was only ten days old when he came into our care. His mother had died from blood poisoning and Richie's owners reached out to us for help. It was decided the best place for the young foal was at our sanctuary.
Our welfare team made an urgent journey in the snow to bring Richie back to the sanctuary where he received the care needed for an orphaned foal.
Playful antics
Despite his rough start in life, Richie has grown into a popular adoption donkey. He is known for his hearty appetite and playful antics.
Richie has a soft and caring side too and can be seen looking out for other donkeys like Bocelli, one of our donkeys that is blind.
