Our donkeys are highly desirable because we have a limited number of donkeys for sale each year. We believe highly selective breeding and producing a small number of exceptional foals helps to protect the future of the Miniature Donkey Breed and the sales and success of breeding programs. Our Miniature Donkeys are structurally correct, well balanced, and well trained.
We have provided Miniature Donkeys to breeding programs, show strings, and pet and companion homes from coast to coast and in Europe. Red Gate donkeys have been represented in both the Great American Miniature Donkey Sale (GAMDS) and the Colorado Rocky Mountain Select Miniature Donkey Sale, as well as in nationally recognized breeding programs, show rings, and events throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Our donkeys get the daily love and attention they so crave from everyone in our family. (10/14)

I've been raising Registered Miniature Donkeys for 22 yrs. now. Conformation has always been my Priority. I want to look out at them and be proud of what My Donkeys are producing. They pretty much all look alike. I call them "My Cookie Cutter Donkeys". This is what I've been striving for all these years. I know pretty much what these Jennys will produce out of my Jacks. Not everybody can do that.
Temperament is also my priority. Especially in my Jacks. It's very important that a Herd Sire have excellent temperament. After all he is half of your herd since he will be breeding your Jennys. You also want any Jack foals out of your Herd Sire to take after him. I trust all my Jacks  Dark Sorrel has been my color preference, but I have other colors also.   (7/13)

Herdsires:
My World Buster, Dk. Sorrel, 30 1/4". Buster @ the Mature age of 22 yrs.old is my Senior Herd Sire. He's my pride and joy! He's still going strong when it comes to breeding. He loves his girls!
Windcrest Comet's Fire and Ice, Dk Brown/White Spot, 28 3/4". Like Buster, this little guy has no problems when breeding some of my 34" girls. Both of these Herd Sires just get up on there tip toes.
Both of these boys produce excellant foals with round rears, wide fronts & rears,straight legs and heavy bone. The heavy bone comes as the foals mature.

Directions:
My farm is up in the middle top of OHIO. I'm 45 min. South of Cedar Point Amusement Park. Or 2 hrs. East of Cleveland or 2 hrs. North of Columbus. Both Cleveland and Columbus have a major airport.

Currently for sale:
Due to changes in my personal life, I will be selling some of my Mini Donkeys. There are a few nice mature Dk Sorrel Jacks, a few adult Blk/Brown Spot Jacks and a small adult Sorrel Frosted Jack.
I have 2 small adult Lt. Sorrel Jennys, 2 nice small adult gray Jennys and some taller adult Dk Sorrel Jennys, & adult Sorrel Frost Jenny and some Pet Dk. Sorrel Jennys. NO, I'M NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS....I just have too many donkeys for me to take care by myself.
