Trent was brought to us with horrific open wounds to his head and other parts of his body. We are still not sure what or how these were caused but he recovered and is now enjoying life with the family of our Equine Project intern that decided to adopt him during their visit!

Once again on Lassithi Plateau, our paths crossed with that of a very cheerful man who was more than willing to help us. He jumped in the car, twice in 2 days, and directed us to the homes of people with donkeys, letting everyone along the way know too!
