Donkey Shaming 101: The Many Faces of Charlie the Donkey

Charlie the donkey has quite the personality. 

Charlie the donkey is a seven-year-old gelding mammoth/standard cross donkey. He lives at Foghorn Farm in Wellington, Colorado where he helps educate donkey owners and advocate for donkey welfare.

But he is also a little bit naughty.

He bugs the chickens.

He loves toilet paper.

But also knows how to get in the way.

And apparently has a taste for electric wires...

Charlie loves to play with his friends.

Charlie is loved by all.

Charlie lives with donkeys that are trained to be able to ride. He was a riding donkey until he sustained a stifle injury and now is just the resident troublemaker at Foghorn Farm.

Donkeys make great additions to any farm. They are loving and have huge personalities. While some can be trained to ride, they can help around the farm by providing plenty of entertainment and company to other herd animals.

Do you have a donkey? We want to see it in the comments below!
