Unlucky in Love and Looking for the Perfect Partner – Who Will swipe right for Benny?

2nd May 2023

Benny the donkey is looking for love after struggling to find a suitable partner since he arrived at Bransby Horses over a year ago.

Donkeys live in herds but like to also pair with another and is an essential requirement to them living happy, healthy lives.

Ideally this will be another donkey but, in Benny’s case he spent many years happily bonded with a pony who sadly passed away – leaving him distraught.

His elderly owner reached out to us for help and we were able to take him in, however he is one of the only donkeys in their herd who has not managed to pair with another.

Spokesperson Maria Thompson said: “Benny’s struggled to find a new partner because here at Bransby Horses most of our donkeys are already bonded and new additions have arrived in pairs.
“Benny’s perfect partner would be able to provide him with lots of fuss and attention regularly throughout the day”.

As a last resort Benny has been placed on the charity’s rehoming scheme to broaden his chances of finding a new life partner.

Preferring the simple things in life, Benny is searching for a quiet home where he can enjoy the company of another donkey or horse, with an owner who has donkey owning experience.
