Dillon’s Story

Hello there! My name is Dillon the donkey and I want to tell you about my wonderful life at Halfpenny-Farm.

My life at the farm began in 2013 when my best friend Danny and I arrived together. Before the farm, life was tough. I was unwanted and uncared for until Halfpenny-Farm gave me a second chance. Now, I have a place to call home.

I’m a little bit shy and can get spooked easily but I have Danny by my side. Wherever Danny goes, I follow, and together we’re inseparable. We spend our days exploring the field, sharing gentle nuzzles, and occasionally competing to see who can munch on the tastiest patch of grass!

The peacefulness of Halfpenny-Farm suits me perfectly. It’s a place where I feel safe, loved, and understood. The kind people here know how to make me comfortable, and I’ve learned to trust them.

The field is my happy place. There’s nothing better than grazing under the warmth of the sun. On special days, I’m treated to carrots and apples—absolute delicacies! 

Despite my love for the outdoors, I have one major dislike: the cold and rain. On gloomy days, I’m very lucky to have a warm stable to shelter in and watch the world go by.

Halfpenny Farm is everything I could have hoped for and more. It’s a haven where I’ve found love, comfort, and companionship. Though I may have started my life in hardship, the farm has given me a fresh start; a life filled with care and kindness.
