Date: Tuesday 28 April 2020, 20:00 BST

This webinar recording of 28 April 2020 looks at why harness fitting and care are important to donkeys and owners Speaker: Chris Garrett, The Donkey Sanctuary Lead - Harness Audience: Private owners, owners using their donkeys for some work in Europe and North America, organisations supporting donkey owners in Africa and Asia.



Harnessing is a key factor in the battle to improve not only the welfare of our draft animals, but also their performance during work. Many people do not have the correct harness system, and others who do have it do not adjust it correctly which affects the efficiency and comfort of the harness. Animals made to work in such conditions will be more prone to wounds, fatigue, and even death in the long term. Chris will also consider what types of harness can we use for a range of work.
