Donkeys In Education
|
|
Donkeys can be very useful to entertain and educate children.
We will come along to your school or venue and show how to groom, tack-up, care for and look after donkeys. Children can also ride the donkeys.
We are fully insured for public liability, have a full operator's licence and Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate (for working with children and vulnerable adults).
Places we can visit include:
- Schools and Colleges
- Youth Centres
- Summer Camps
- Education Days
- Childrens' Nurseries
- Residential and Care Homes
- Any establishment wishing to learn about donkeys
These visits are suitable for:
- All age groups (only under 16s and those under eight stone in weight can ride the donkeys - see Donkey Welfare)
- Both able-bodied or disabled people
- People with learning disabilities

Grooming the donkeys in their winter barn
Our donkeys love these visits because of all the attention they receive. They are very calm and gentle creatures and can provide a very therapeutic experience for the people they visit.
The donkeys are supervised at all times by our experienced staff and we provide protective headgear, if required, for the children who are riding.
Remember - DISTANCE IS NO OBJECT
Our donkeys are very happy travellers!

| IMPORTANT! Advice about hiring donkeys. In order to protect yourself and those participating in the event, it is advisable to check with the operator's local council to ensure they have a valid licence to work donkeys. Request to see their insurance certificate although this will be invalid without a licence. Also ask for a copy of their Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate to make sure they can work with children or vulnerable adults.
It is also a good idea to contact the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary to make sure the operator has their donkeys inspected for welfare reasons throughout the whole of the year.
