Ashley Hays Wright is the founder of Donkey & Draft Rescue and also an award winning film director.
While making a film about rescue horses, she saw a donkey that captured her heart come across a Facebook page. He was up for adoption, he had been recently saved from a feed lot. She set up a transport to bring him home immediately.
That donkey is Prancer. The leader and Patriarch of the donkey herd here. Prancer showed her a new level of love and amazement with donkeys. Her mission was now to show the world how amazing these creatures are and to show others how very worthy they are to be saved!
