Billy Bean
Grey/brown gelding – Born 1993 Billy Bean came with Crackers. These two boys arrived at the park together in 2002. They originally came from a farm park in Wales which had lost all there livestock during the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001. As they missed all the attention from the visitors they were beginning to misbehave and becoming quite a handful, therefore we were asked to take them in.

Sasha
Dark brown gelding. Born 1999 Sasha was named by the children of Chernobyl when they visited Sorley tunnel, where he was born. At a year old he came to us to be a companion for a donkey owned by a local lady who sadly had just lost one of hers. Up until 2008 he lived with this lady and her donkey Tilly, but it was then decided that he needed to come down to the park for much needed training. So he and Tilly came and joined all the other donkeys.

He is believed to be about a year old, originally from Ireland and arrived in Cornwall on a transporters lorry along with a pony.
