After a much-needed pause to rest and reset, Robert returns with an extended episode of HoofNotes. In this heartfelt catch-up, we visit a wedding where the donkeys wore umbrellas, enjoy some hilarious and moving care home moments, visit from a Scottish family, and experience the chaos of 9 donkeys on one trek.

Plus: a beautiful listener question all about donkey foaling, the practical aspects and the little joys surrounding birth.

It’s a longer listen this week, packed with stories. Grab a cuppa, and come walk with us through mayhem, laughter, and the magic of farm life.

This week on HoofNotes, the gates are closed — but the stories haven’t stopped. As Robert takes time for some long-overdue maintenance around the farm, the animals step up with their usual mix of drama and heart.

There’s a sheep stuck in a fence, another sheep launching a surprise headbutt, and a deeply moving moment as one visitor finds peace during a goat meditation session. With donkeys providing comfort, goats mirroring emotions, and one very determined woman who overcame anxiety just to show up — it’s a gentle reminder that being still with animals can be the best therapy.

This week on HoofNotes, we’ve got everything from giggling date nights to donkeys delivering beer at weddings — and one very brave hen called Brigid, who escaped a fox with her life (but not her tail feathers).

Robert takes us behind the scenes of a joyful school visit (with some wonderfully old-fashioned children’s names), an adult birthday in the barn, and the launch of Beer Burros — a new wedding craze from America that Turlough and Tinkerbell are taking international.

There’s laughter, a few heartfelt listener stories, and a more emotional moment too — as Robert reflects on his first donkey, Muffin, whose legacy still lives on at Kinedale.
