We were contacted by the vets from Hospital San Vincente in Alicante about Brioche, a handsome 10 year old stallion who had never lived with other donkeys, only stallion horses.

His elderly owner died a few weeks ago and this left his wife to care for him and the horses. Unfortunately Brioche forgot his manners and attacked the elderly owner leaving her needing hospital treatment.

People ask why do we castrate …. well this is why! Stallions are very strong and totally unpredictable and dangerous!!!!! There’s no reasoning with them, we’ve had many a battle with a stallion.

The now owner had asked all the people she knew in an attempt to find him a home, the last resort was for him to be put to sleep.

Of course we will give this boy a chance, why wouldn’t we, it’s really not his fault. He needs to learn a few manners and we are confident he will be a ‘nice pleasant boy ‘ in a few months time.

The owner very kindly agreed to pay for his castration at the hospital.
