Jasper is one of the younger donkeys who came to Clovelly in February 2003. He came with his best friend JakeyTed and the two go around together always and hate to be apart. He is very tall and is now our only spotty donkey. He is a tall donkey but not the strongest as he is tall and lanky. In 2004 we bought Charlie who is a year younger than Jasper and the two became firm friends and playmates. Now Jakey, Jasper and Charlie go around as a threesome and are always up to mischeif. |

Here are Spotty and Jasper together - The smallest and the biggest. Sadly, Spotty died in 2004 but he is still fondly remembered by us and all the children who loved riding him because he was fast. Jasper thinks giving donkey rides is boring and is known for going backwards as well as he goes forwards ! |

Jasper, Charlie and Toby
are allergic to midge bites - a condition often called "Sweet
Itch" by horsey people.
When they go out in the field they wear light rugs which are fly proof so that they don't get bitten by the flies. Here is Jasper wearing his purple fly rug and green mask.The mask also stops his nose and pink ear from getting sunburn. Don't worry, it's see-through like a net curtain ! When the biting flies are really bad they have to stay in the stable which is very boring for them.. |
July 2008 - Here is Jasper looking very smart and ready to give donkey rides. That's Jake in the background as usual. |

In August 2010 Jasper won an Award ! It was from the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth for being the best single donkey in the South-West area. Every year they run a competition for working donkeys. There are several categories such as Best Group and Best Feet as well as best in an area and best in the country.
In the background is Jasper's friend Jake keeping a watchful eye on everyone. |

Jasper won a trophy inscribed with his name, a badge saying "Best Working Donkey South West England 2010 ", two lovely rosettes and a poster. <<<<<Here he is in the Donkey Riding Meadow wearing his badge round his neck. We put the poster and the rosettes in the stable for people to see. Jasper is also wearing his sunhat and nose. He has white skin so he has to be careful not to get sunburn in the summer, particularily as he is allergic to sun cream.
