About Us: Tom, Dick and Harry are extremely lovable boys full of character and fully loaded with affection for you and their new home! They love to play with wellies and tug ropes, and they enjoy a snuffle of herbs, especially ginger. They enjoy sitting back and relaxing with a refreshing herbal tea and always like to find time for a chew on branches such as willow and hazel.

Although they are all best of buddies, Dick and Harry prefer to play together, whereas Tom is more likely to play alone, with enrichment activities provided for him.

All three boys enjoy having a groom and spending quality time with their carers.  All three boys enjoy a stroll on their headcollars and are very content in their trio.

Our Behaviour:  Tom and Harry will always stand calmly for their headcollars and are happy to be tied up for any reason. Dick sometimes struggles being approached with a head collar and may walk off, but with a little reassurance, he will always try to be brave and allow for his head collar to be put on with a second approach. He’s recently been enjoying a licki mat to help relax him when tied up.

Our Health: None of the boys are on any medication and have had a medical examination, which has not highlighted any immediate health concerns. However, there is sarcoid history for each of them in the past - our veterinary team will be able to discuss this with you.

Our Needs: As an energetic trio, they will benefit from access to varied enrichment and a stimulating environment. Dick would really benefit from more time building trust with his new Guardians.

They will need a home without other equines, as they have struggled to integrate into a larger group of donkeys and secure fencing.
