15/09/2004 Long Hot Summer of 2004 and lots of new foals
Ancraa - Donkeywatch News Pic The summer was long and hot after the birth of Amoretto it was the turn of Pepa to bring her foal into the world.So on the evening of the 16th July Pepa chose to birth out on the terrace. As it was halfway through the moon cycle she just made it at dusk and in fact it was just dark by the time this little bundle was up on her feet. We were so pleased to see another girlie and we named her Almendra.

The birth was steady and safe and Pepa who is an experienced Mother knew exactly what to do and when. Finally just before 11pm she made her way into the stable and a nice deep bed of straw. Happy days followed with baby Almendra getting to know the rest of the herd and also her sister Britty. She has grown well and is independant and confidant.
