My journey with donkeys began not as a plan, but as a calling — a quiet pull toward an animal often misunderstood, overlooked, and underestimated. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion and purpose.

From the first moment I encountered a donkey, something shifted in me. Their watchful eyes, cautious movements, and deep intelligence spoke of resilience — animals shaped by harsh environments and long-forgotten stories. These weren’t stubborn creatures; they were survivors. And I knew I had to be a part of their world.

Over the years, I immersed myself in the art and heart of donkey training, particularly with wild or feral donkeys. It’s not about dominance or breaking them — it’s about earning trust. Each donkey I’ve worked with has taught me patience, empathy, and the value of moving at their pace. There is no shortcut to connection. With donkeys, you earn every step forward, and those steps are deeply rewarding.

Donkeys are not just part of my life — they are at the heart of it. They’ve taught me more about trust, strength, and quiet wisdom than I ever imagined. This journey is far from over, and I remain dedicated to giving these remarkable animals the recognition and respect they so deeply deserve.
