Donkeys Invade the WPDH Studios

The Boris & Robyn Show was visited by a pack of donkeys that are helping people meet new friends and get exercise.

Earlier this week we shared some video of people walking with donkeys on the Hudson Valley Rail Trail. Apparently, it's not uncommon for people meet up online and come together in various locations around our area to walk with donkeys. We wanted to know why people would do this, and what they get out of it.

According to organizer, Steve Stiert, these donkey events have become way more popular than he ever imagined they would. According to Steve, people love the interaction with the animals and the feeling they get from being around them.

We spent some quality time with the donkeys and Steve to find out more, and as you can see, I think we now understand the appeal of these miniature donkey walks.

If you'd like to be a part of a future donkey walk, you can visit their meet-up page or check out the Hudson Valley Donkey Park for more information.
