About HoofNotes

Life on a donkey farm in rural Ireland is never boring — and trust me, there’s plenty to talk about. I’m Robert Wallace, Donkey Boy to some, and every week on HoofNotes I’ll be sharing stories from Kinedale Donkeys. Some days it’s fixing fences, others it’s delivering foals, and now and then you even find yourself on an opera stage with a donkey by your side. It’s a mix of real farm life, funny moments, good stories, and the odd visit from a guest. If you fancy a laugh, a bit of rural charm, and tales straight from the donkey’s mouth, pull up a chair and listen along. New episodes every week — Slán! Hosted on Acast.
