Our six donkeys each have their own personality. Some are steady and sensible, while others are a little more cheeky — especially Barney!
Before your walk
Meet the Herd
Six donkeys, six very different personalities. Here's who you might be leading around the farm.
Swipe or use the arrows
Sammy
The steady one
The wise old head of the herd. Sammy has seen it all, done it all and will not be rushed for anyone — a proper professional.
Rocky
The gentle giant
Steady, sensible and extremely food-motivated. Rocky is by far our largest donkey and the leader of the herd. A big character with a very calm nature.
Jackie Chan
The drama king
Perfectly behaved... when the mood takes him. Jackie Chan does everything with a flourish and insists on having an audience.
Barney
THE BOLD ONE
Spirited, keen and always ready for a bit of mischief. Barney can be a little cheeky at times, but that’s all part of his charm.
Nigel
THE CHEEKY ONE
Nigel has his own ideas about where the walk should go. (Usually towards the best grass or tastiest tree) He’ll happily stop for a nibble while you admire him!
Noddy
THE SWEETHEART
Noddy is a real sweetheart who happily plods along by your side, taking life at his own pace.
Which one will you get? There's only one way to find out.
