THANK YOU for the comments. I wish the pictures had been more "exciting" but I am actually relieved there wasn't much of a reaction from Feather or Cavalier. When I have a chance, I might try taking Evil Annie over to the round pen.

Miss Fishy, minidonks are 36" and under. They're very hardy and very easy keepers (well, except for the group Amy came from, but then they had NOTHING to eat). You usually have to be careful they don't get access to too much pasture. Adults require no grain (no alfalfa or anything rich). Same vaccs, hoof trims, worming intervals as horses. They do like a shelter but prefer to be able to see out, so a closed stall can be too confining.

They can be excellent horse companions, but I like to add that they need some individual attention too so they feel appreciated. :) Once horses "adjust" to the shock of seeing a donkey, they buddy up and can become inseparable friends. How nice that you want a buddy for your third horse!

:rofl: :rofl: Ha ha, Feather's big butt!

bh1, that's not a bad idea; I wrote a 4-page thing about Amy for the VDHMA (draft horse org.) for their April newsletter. It would be an interesting project if I had the time.

She makes me giggle and sigh at the same time!! Thank you for the update - you and hubby are doing a fantastic job at the rehab!! I'm so fascinated by your donk stories....

Feather's butt reminds me of a country song by Trace Adkins...."Honkey Tonk BadonkaDONK" (it's about a woman with a nice ample rear, in case you don't know the song!) :teehee:
