Eliza-Female born in 2008 daughter of Danny and Charlene,sister to Leah.
Emma-Female born in(?)daughter of Danny and Amanda(?)
Leah-Female born in 2011 daughter of Danny and Charlene,younger sister Eliza.

Births in past years;
2007-three foals born-Piers,George and Miles to Amanda,unsure of George's mother and Gemma is/was Miles mother,Danny is the father.
2008-two foals born-Mickey and Molly to Danny and mothers(?)Mickey and Molly now at Hawk Conservancy Trust.
Pippa daughter of Danny and(?)moved to Cotswold.



That's all the information I have at present so if anyone could provide anymore,it would be great!

Sorry I cannot help with any of the above but I think that some of the first miniature donkeys in the UK were imported by Kilverstone Wildlife Park . They also had a large stud of Falabella miniature horses .

Quote from a Kilverstone guide book dated about 1990 - ' We have two herds of Miniature Donkeys which we imported from America . They originally came from Sardinia but are no longer found there .'

These arrived towards the end of Kilverstone's life .
