In the Bible ownership of many donkeys is a sign of God's blessing. So the Hutley family, who own the Wintershall estate just outside Guildford in Surrey, have a lot to feel thankful for.
Wintershall puts on theatrical productions including The Life of Christ, The Acts of the Apostles and The Wintershall Nativity Play.
The birth of a filly last week on the estate followed hot on the hooves of an already successful year with a stunning performance of The Passion before thousands in Trafalgar Square at Easter.
