Useful contacts

Here are links to useful sites - other societies and organisations, other studs, places to hire donkeys from, suppliers of donkey suitable equipment and clothing - and generally anyone we have interacted with who we found useful! (No guarantees they still offer the services / products we used, but at least it will give you a clue where to start looking)

The British Driving Society - a great Society to join and a wonderful source of information for anyone interested in carriage driving
Various places that sell harness / carriages suitable for donkeys (either new or via auctions)
Insurance for your donkeys, and breakdown cover for your horse box or trailer. Did you know that most 'ordinary' breakdown schemes do not cover you if you have livestock on board?
Various Societies or studs for different types / breeds of donkey (some may have stock for sale or offer stud services)
The ultimate website for donkey lovers everywhere - a great starting point for any enthusiast! The DBS is also a DEFRA approved equine Passport issuing authority.

Some sites that sell donkey related products - rugs (most pony ones don't fit), great little headcollars, bandages, boots and bits - especially tiny driving bits.
