A new home for Massimo

Many of you will remember Massimo, a donkey born at our Rifugio in 2013 from Gelsomina, who arrived pregnant after the seizure of Colleferro. Massimo reached his new home at the beginning of October, near Pistoia, where he started to share his new life with another donkey called Nespolo, who had been left with three horses following the death of another donkey who lived with them. Their owner, Monica, soon realised how different donkeys and horses are, which is why the presence of another long-eared equid was necessary so Nespolo could live at his best and find more similar "rhytms" of play.

After the initial ritual sniffs in separate paddocks, we hope that the two will soon become companions for life.
