Winky Wonky Donkey
For years, I have been wanting a
Donkey...  Finally, in August 2011, my
dream came true and a lovely fellow
whose name was Jack, and has since
been changed to Winky Wonky Donkey
(anyone who has seen the Winky Wonky
Donkey song will understand!! lol) which
suits him perfectly.

Winky's age is unknown - though he
came from the Whyalla Fauna and
Reptile Park originally which closed down
in the first couple of years of the new
century!

He was living with Jess Kyle and her
family in Whyalla from the closure of the
Fauna Park and keeping their colt and
another horse or two company.

Winky is a very affectionate fellow who
loves attention and has fit right in here at
CM Sporthorses!

He is currently in with geldings and
youngsters, and will also be keeping the
stallions company when they dont have
girls in with them!

He lapped up the attention that young
Sarah gave him - and was very obliging
to give her a ride and let her lead him
around the place.
Winky is brilliant for the farrier, to worm and do anything
with.   He is a true joy to have around.
Winky, at some point, has gotten overweight, and apparently with Donkeys when they get too fat and their necks fall over and
their butts go 'saggy' - they do not get their 'figures' back as the weight comes off.     He also has a chunk out of one ear - so
he really is a true Winky Wonky Donkey!   Though he is not stinky, and he is not limpy or cranky as the song goes!
Some of the horses thought he was a bit odd at first, but soon got over it and he is now well and truly one of the herd.
The move to Aldinga went really well
for Winky... He was in the float with
Millie, who insisted on hogging all of
the room - however he didnt seem to
mind as he had his revenge when we
arrived - he was allowed out to roam
- and she wasnt!   At least, not for a
day or so!   He has settled in really
well and is a bit of a local attraction!
