The donkey is a great educator and a intermediary between people and environment. First, the donkey is cute and brings joy to anyone who looks at him or anyone who approaches him. It doesn’t judge, doesn’t comment, doesn’t wear trendy clothes, no airs and graces, it is humble and friendly, but independent and strong. For this reason, it is very easy to get in tune with it. The donkey is a slow animal, so it teaches you to “slow down”, giving you the chance to observe well, to appreciate the little things that, step by step, you find in your path.
It invites you to prudence, being a prudent animal: if it senses danger, it stops and goes around the obstacle. Moreover, it is stubborn but doesn’t give up, so it teaches tenacity, an excellent example and stimulus for kids, who nowadays, are easily pliable. The donkey is a symbol of our recent history, of the agricultural past, when it replaced engines and tractors in almost all daily events. At donkey’s pace, you can follow the ancient routes, the comfortable and shaded bridleways, for all ages and gaits.
