To facilitate learning and educational opportunities by promoting the value and intelligence of the donkey.
|
The Donkey Sanctuary has a specialised training facility that opened in 1993. The Training Centre has a large, well-equipped lecture room, which has seating for up to 25 people. The Training Centre yard can stable up to 14 donkeys. Most of these are being prepared to join our Fostering Scheme and go out to foster homes.
Courses are usually run during the week, from 10.30am until 4pm. They all include theory and practical sessions and a certificate of competence will be presented on completion of the day.
The majority of Donkey Sanctuary training courses are not suitable for very young children to attend unless the course has been organised specifically for families.
If you would like children to accompany you on the course and you feel that it would be beneficial for them to attend, then it is important to discuss the situation with the course Instructor in advance so that they can be properly accommodated. |

Courses are held regularly in Devon, Derbyshire, Kent, Essex and South Wales.
Specialised Training Courses
These courses are tailor made to the requirements of equine welfare organisations, schools, colleges, vets and farriers. We also specialise in using behaviour science in the training of donkeys and offer courses on this subject.
