I have never kept donkeys, so I am no expert, but on balance I would say your fence was rather too low for such big animals. For me I would either set the whole thing up 12 inches or so, (not many animals crawl out underneath that, though of course the dogs will) or I would put another line up 12 inches higher than your current top rail. Normally whilst grass is abundant they won't try fences, but after that , once they give it a go things go pear shaped. With a higher fence they can't possibly graze over it etc.
Just a thought, hope you don't mind me commenting. xx K
Val says K is a very knowledgeable horse person so she is someone I would listen to. Donkeys do not jump generally unlike horses, but maybe another line would not go amiss to be on the safe side. Malc who felt he had just finished yesterday has just looked at me in horror at the suggestion!!
I dare not repeat comments especially as at the start he suggested another line.
What do donkey friends think please ?
