She’s all ears but can you give her a name?
11:21am Monday 7th April 2008
WITH her long ears, even longer legs and big eyes, this wobbly new arrival is surely one of the county's cutest.
But she is yet to be named and Daily Echo readers are being invited to come up with suggestions.
The young donkey foal was born in the New Forest on March 28 and is slowly finding her feet.
Staff at Longdown Activity Farm, where the foal was born to resident donkey mum Tilly, said both mum and baby are doing well.
Tilly is a rescue donkey who came to Longdown Activity Farm in 2006 from a man who imports ill-treated animals from France.
When she arrived, she had sores, lungworm and overgrown hooves, but she has been nursed back to health and the new arrival is her second foal.
Farm owner Bryan Pass said: "The foal is all ears and legs at the moment. She is very cute and I'm sure she will be very popular with our visitors.
"But we have one problem - we do not know what to call the new arrival."
The reader who suggests the winning name will also win a family ticket to Longdown Activity Farm.
Entries should be sent by April 21 to Longdown Activity Farm, Deerleap Lane, Longdown, Ashurst, Hampshire SO40 7EH or e-mailed to publicity@longdownfarm.co.uk.

The most beautiful person I know is my daughter, and I would love to have this little beauty named after her. The name should be 'TARA'.
