JY93/1075/3 DOB 30/11/93 Colour fawn (Deceased)
Rosalie was Ernestine's last live foal and when she was 14 months old she went to live with friends for the following 11 years. She is a link with the past and family history. I bought her back and we spent nearly two wonderful years together before a rare event caused her to be put down on February 23, 2008.

Rosalie with Alex Doyle enjoying his ride on the beach at Caroline Bay, Timaru to celebrate the International Day of the Donkey in 2006 and also commemorate the Aigantighe Art Gallery's painting, 'The Unemployed' 1912 by William Greene, depicting four donkeys waiting for rides on the beach. Six donkeys were kept busy for over 2-1/2 hours, giving rides for a gold coin donation to the Donkey and Mule Protection Trust, a registered charity.

Wearing her new 39" Mini 'Snowbee' waterproof thermal lined cover during one of the Antarctic blasts which turn our summer into instant winter. Having discarded most of her thick natural winter coat she needs some extra warmth.
