Rio the Donkey

Rio was born in August 2016 when the Olympics were being held in Rio. She is light grey in colour and a dark cross of hair over her back. 

Rio is mum to Pumpkin and she has her hands full! Rio loves lots of attention from Dalscone Farm visitors and is very inquisitive. Rio is stubborn but very clever in making sure she gets lots of attention. Rio was born at dalscone and will stay with us forever. Shes an absolute star and because she was born with us she is very tame and loves a cuddle.
