Meet our gentle donkeys
Book your Donkey Love Therapy today
Spending time with Sebastian, Angela, Bentley and Georgina is like spending time in a world of peace and honesty.
Donkeys are like dogs, they wag their tails to say thank you and follow you when walking in the paddocks. Their small size makes them non-threatening and our four donkeys, each with their own personality, have only ever known LOVE. They have never been hit allowing them to have total trust in people. You become, in their big brown soft eyes, a friend. They never receive treats so they allow you to be with them because they like you. There is no judgement.
An initial one hour session spend with these beautiful individuals provides you with the wonder of the animal world, one that will stay with you.

HOW ANIMAL ASSISTED ACTIVITY IS ENHANCING LIVES
We have trained our donkeys as emotional, responsive facilitators. Participants learn how to interact with our miniature donkeys in our purpose-built outdoor paddocks. This unconditional acceptance between human and animal creates feelings of self-value and confidence that allows clients to experience feelings of happiness.
Clients visit our property on the Mornington Peninsula region to experience enhanced wellbeing through interaction with our miniature donkeys. We focus on equality between human and animal, feeling comfortable in the company of each other.
