Chloe is a centered animal, dominant but not aggressive. The donkeys have been watching her closely all  night and into the morning. At first, they ran away from her and she pursued them. Today, she is just staying close to them and that seems okay. Lulu and Fanny have been together almost all of their lives, they are sisters. They are inseparable, but they are also social and easy-going. Maria got all three of them to come together for treats and brushing, that is great for the first day. I am enjoying getting to know Chloe, she reminds me of Rocky in some ways.

People don’t realize that ponies have a rich history, like donkeys. Many were originally bred as war animals, they can be very strong and grounded, they do not easily spook, they are hardy and love to work with people, as many horses do. Maria hopes to ride her today.
