At Stonegate Acres we strive to breed and promote exceptional miniature donkeys that are not only conformationally correct, but versatile as well.  You can be assured that any donkey you purchase from us will be fully trained in trail obstacles, and if old enough, driving, snigging, jumping as well.  We are proud of our Multi-National Champion Stonegate Acres Total Eclypse, his full brother Stonegate Acres Solar Eclypse (lives in Texas), Stonegate Acres Partial Eclypse (lives in Tennessee), Stonegate Acres Ciara (2 time 2005 Best of Breed in Oregon and Texas) as well as Champion High Point donkeys, Circle C Synergy and Circle C Synsation. Home of the Multi Award winning halter and performance donkey, The Spotlite.  If you are interested in a performance animal...look no further. We presently have some for sale.   We welcome all your inquiries regarding animals for sale and training. (11/12)

Currently for sale:
 HIGH POINT CHAMPION HALTER AND PERFORMANCE GELDING:
Circle C Synergy
This was Synergy’s third year in Open.  He has won every Hi Point he has been in.  He is fully trained in all show events - in hand and driving and also is trained in pair driving.  He has a huge heart.  He is easy to clip and to get his feet trimmed. He loads and travels very good as well as stands for grooming.

ALSO YEARLING SHOW QUALITY GELDING:
Stonegate Acres Solitaire - a half brother to Champion Halter jennets:
Stonegate Acres Ciara and Stonegate Acres Trilogy
This gorgeous young gelding is unique to say the least!  After 12 jennets, Smudge gave us our first jack.  He is compact with excellent confirmation and that beautiful hip and eye that Smudge puts on all her babies.  Many of Smudges foals have gone on to win halter and trail championships many times, both in Canada and the United States.  Their foals are now following in the family footsteps making their stand in the show ring. Solitaire has been to three shows and is always in the ribbons!

I Specialize in Quality in all my livestock - Black Angus, Miniature Donkeys and Shorthorns.  Purebred livestock have been in the family since 1898 and 5 generations. The farm is located in west central Alberta, one hour west of Red Deer or two hours northwest of Calgary or 2 hours southwest of Edmonton. I am easily accessed by land and air.    Black miniature donkeys are my preference but quality in any color is the rule.  Using the Ray Hunt philosophy of making the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult, the donkeys are trained for halter, performance, or driving.  MJB Venus Princess, 2002 NMDA National  Reserve Grand Champion Jennet and 2002 NMDA National Champion Foal was bred and owned by MJB Livestock.  She now resides at Itsy Bitsy Burro Co., LaGrange, TX.  2006 foals sired by MGF Leroy, 30 1/2" black/brown. Check out my donkeys and find your next champion.

Herdsire:
Our premiere herd sire is Stoney Acres Fire Cracker, 30.25”, sorrel.  This little guy is a joy to handle and show.  He was Grand Champion Jackpot Jack at the Miniature Donkey Extravaganza in Red Deer Alberta in 2008 on his first birthday, and Reserve Grand Champion Jack at the MDE Open Show in 2009.  He also excels at hunter-jumping and trail.  His 2010 foals are stocky and small, just like their daddy.  We also have two future herd sires, DuPlessis Farm’s Black Solitaire, a tiny little black tank, 28.5” at one year of age; and HHAA Smalls, a dark brown and white spot who is, as his name implies, a tiny little guy at only 26" at 6 months of age.
