Donkey's at Brockenhurst

by Sam
(Hampshire)

Hello,
I wanted to ask how I find out about the fate of the baby donkey's around Brockenhurst
please? I believe the drift is this week.

Kindest regard
Sam Walton

Hi Sam
Donkey's don't go through the Drift.
What happens to the donkey foals is down to each individual Commoning owner as to what plans they may have for them.
They may want to increase their herd and so may keep a male (Jack) or Jenny (female).
They may want to sell them or already have new owners interested.
They may be put into the sales at the Beaulieu Road sales where the ponies go to be sold.
The Commoner may just be happy for them, once weaned, to stay out on the open forest with their herd, where you've seen them.

Hope this helps
Christina
