Four new arrivals (with surprise!)
Yesterday afternoon four new arrivals joined our Rifugio: donkeys Gilda and Gilbert, rescued in Colleferro, their foal Billa and... a surpise!
"When Marianna and I reached Bergamo to load the three donkeys into the van, we immediately noticed that the bond with the pony they were living with was just too strong to separate that quartet!" our Welfare Officer Fabrizio says.
So, exceptionally, the tiny pony arrived, even if he's not a donkey, a hinny or a mule - the species we take care of at our Rifugio.
Leo the pony has lived for over 2 years and a half with his donkey friends, and their beautiful friendship can go on.
For the next months Leo, Gilda, Gilbert and Billy are going to live in the Isolation Area, where all the new arrivals spend a couple of months during which our vet checks health conditions and in case of need can plan special therapies and diet.
But don't worry: you can have a look at them in this video, taken yesterday at the right time of their arrival. Enjoy it!
