RECENT NOSTALGIA: Weight limits for donkey rides
The Donkey Sanctuary and the British Equine Veterinary Association had teamed up to create guidelines to enhance the well-being of donkeys, which were to be recommended to local authorities like East Lindsey District Council (ELDC).
ELDC said people over the age of 15 or who weighed more than eight stone were not allowed to ride donkeys.
