The Duchess and Ermintrude:

 

 

2011, THE DUCHESS, a potentially glorious liver chestnut cob arrived from the same area as a very undernourished donkey mare whom we called ERMINTRUDE.

The Duchess

 

 

 

 

Both had been badly neglected throughout a tough winter though The Duchess soon showed signs of improvement after a worm dose and good grass.

Ermintrude is taking a lot longer to regain her weight but that may be partly down to her having great “attitude” - she’s always off with the herd, playing chase with the lads and teasing someone into a play fight.

 

 

She’s a real little character who has perfected the “who me?” look whilst committing amazing mischief. Her hooves were grossly overgrown on arrival but hardly slowed her down - or so we thought. After trimming we realised we should have called her Arkle or Red Rum.
