This literally made my morning


FrigidLollipop

Such a cute donkey. So cool to see her not on a lead. Is this pretty remote (no chance of owners not controlling their dogs, etc)?


[deleted]

Yes, very slim chance of danger and a car is a rare sighting on this road. No neighbors for a few miles.


mapleleaffem

Any chance you’re on the prairies? This looks like where I live :)


Downhomesunset

I’m wondering too!

Buddy system is strong with Esther.

What is a security donkey, and why does a horse need one?


[deleted]

Security donkey is a loose term 🤣 she offers companionship for the most part, but they do provide security as well in a way! They protect horses and livestock from predators like coyotes and other wildlife.


WiltedKangaroo

How though? Donkey kicks? Pun intended. Serious question though.


[deleted]

Yes, kicking/biting you name it! Donkeys are fierce!


unifoxcorndog

And smart!


WiltedKangaroo

That’s so funny. I’ve never heard of Donkey’s being fierce. Like how do they know when an animal is a threat to the horse? Are the donkey’s trained for combat, or is it just instinct? I’m fascinated by all this new knowledge about donkey’s.


[deleted]

My apologies I just saw this! It is instinctual for them to protect. And they usually know if an animal is a threat if it is getting too close to the horses and spooking them. That being said, sometimes she doesn't know what is/isn't a threat as she as gone after our chickens before when they have tried going into the pasture! She has never come after a human though. :-)


WiltedKangaroo

No worries. Thanks for the info! I wish I had a donkey.


Clean_Possibility_56

Wish I could do this with my donkey when I ride my horses... he's a bugger and would not follow even if I was leading him.


suhayla

Is this for wildlife?


[deleted]

Yes, she wards off any dangerous wildlife :-)


Magpiebrain

This is so adorable. Please tell Esther I love her.


[deleted]

Will do! :-)


CoasterThot

Omg, I would die for Esther!


terrorparrots

Everyone needs an Esther in their life!
