We began our adventure with miniature donkeys in l993 by purchasing three from a California breeder with the promise of giving them a "forever" home.  One of the three was Small World Pancho Via, a National Champion who had spent most of his life either in the show ring or producing other offspring who also became winners in the show ring.  During the following 17 years, we have enjoyed them, purchased many more, raised babies, and learned how to train them to pull carts!  The last two years, one of my home grown & home trained geldings has placed at the Ozark Empire Fair.....MUCH to my surprise! We cart in shows, parades or just head down the highway! We have spots, browns, blacks, reds, grays and even an interesting beige color.  However,  conformation comes before color in our breeding program.   (10/13)

Herdsires:
Our three herdsires include:
  Quarter Moon Deacon - Dark Brown - National Champion
  LN Master Vu Leroy - Black
  RRR's Small World Amigo - A direct son of Small World Poncho Via
