Our little wild child!

Our little Saucy Clare sure is a wild one. She is one of the few animals at the DSC that I have not even touched yet. She is getting fairly good with staff but from any other person she runs away. She is in the Garden Paddock with Juno, Tibet and Roberta. Even though there are constantly people in there to clean up, feed them, or give them water, she is a wild one when it comes to people approaching her or even just walking by her. Saucy is a little hinny, her father was a Shetland pony and her mother was a miniature donkey.  She has spunk and gets the group rallied up a lot of times, if you see them going wild in that paddock you can be sure that Saucy is the instigator of all the action. Due to Saucy chronic laminitis she has been kept away from the rich pastures of the DSC and kept away from her mule friends, however the mules live right next fence so they can see each other and touch noses on a daily basis. I remember when Saucy was kept away from everybody for a while, because she wasn't doing so well and how upset she was when she moved into the Garden Paddock and couldn't join her mule friends, it was pretty sad. But now she is content to nuzzle over the fence and is happy just knowing that her mule buddies are close by.

Here is Saucy getting ready to get everybody going. First she runs along the outside of the Paddock like a little speed demon.... 

....then Saucy rallies up the donkeys. She really doesn't care about their ailments or age, she just wants them to get into the action.

Who? Me? Stirring up trouble? How would you ever come up with an idea like that?  I have the face of innocence!
