Teddy
Name: Teddy
Age: 26 years old - Born: 1997
Colour: Grey/black (multicoloured)
Gelding donkey
Likes: Braying on the beach when it's time to go home and resting his head on your shoulder
Dislikes: Midges as he is allergic to them as suffers from Sweet-itch in the summer months meaning he needs to wear a boet rug to stop the midges from bite at his skin (neck, withers and top of his tail)
Story: When Teddy first starting working on the beach he did not like being loaded up into the trailer to come to work or go home and it would take 2/3 people to get him in but now he goes into the trailer no problems at all. In 2004 Teddy won The Donkey Sanctuary Britain's Best Beach Donkey award
