    All mine only “sink” when they are touched when wet. The rest of the time they love it when they’re touched or scratched. I read some where that this is normal for donkeys.

      It is normal for a lot of animals but they do it less when they are regularly stroked over the spine.

    Hello,

    I am a brand new donkey owner. He is 1 year old and does this sinking. I don’t think he was handled much at all. You mention doing “passive leading exercises” that will help them build muscle and be less sensitive… what are these exercises? Where can I get more info?

    Thank you
