Let´s be ecological and ride donkeys in Sardinia!

TOUR-DONKEY PROJECT

The TourDonkey project is a perfect eco-way to know an discover the territory.
This was a great idea of a young entrepreneur from Sardinia, Valeria Manca.
Her goal is to show her region and make know the Sardinian Donkeys.
Her activity started in 2006, when Valeria and her husband opened a breeding farm for the Protection of the Sardinian Donkey.  She achieved her specialization in Asti, at the training institution: "Donkeys are born... And I was born it", where she obtained the patents for the activities with donkeys.
In 2011, she took part in a competition announcement called PROMUOVIDEA promoted by Sardinia Region and, thanks to it, she realized her dream .
