it...plan a trip out to see our small herd of Miniature Donkeys and stop at
a local winery on your way home. We don't specialize in any one color of
donkey...we love them all!! We strive for well balanced, straight
jennets to breed to our pretty spotted boy, Little Magic. We believe
that is the key to beautiful foals!! Our foals are loved on daily.
You can't help but love on them...they won't let you out of the paddock
until you do!!!
Please give us a call and stop on by...we love company!! (4/12)

put with him!! Stay tuned for the outcome starting this Fall.
Stud Fee: $500 to a select few jennets.
Also, waiting in the wings, is our little junior herdsire: Du Plessis's
LittleBlack Pennington. This little boy is a tank at a year old
and only 29" tall. We will start him out with a couple of his own
jennets this Fall. See more of these great little guys on our web site:
