Bonnie and Clara waking up this morning. 🌞
These two girls are so confident and are settling in really well. They are much more comfortable after their hoof trim and deffinetly are enjoying the small area of sand to nap in every day.
They’re cute as buttons!

Gus- their third wheel companion, has been going under the fence to spend time with the horses. It is funny how some donkeys really enjoy horse company, but still prefer donkeys ultimately.

We like to notice small things like this when getting to know animals, it helps us a lot with the potential adopters too, to see where the animals will be happiest. Getting to know each animal individually is so fun.

*edit* a few supporters have ordered sheets for Gus that should be here soon!* thank you all! I am still open to hearing anyones experiences with severe fly alergy/ sweet itch! 🪰

By some miracle, do any of our supporters have a 63” fly sheet they’d be willing to part with? We have a donkey (Gus) who is extremely allergic to flies. We treat him daily and he’s on medication but nothing is helping this poor boy to get some relief from the flies. He has sweet itch as a reaction to it. His skin is washed a few times a week and we put all the special lotions and potions on him, but he ultimately needs the flies off of his entire body. Fans and overnights are really his only relief.

I’ve ordered one online for him but the arrival date keeps getting pushed back, its very hard to find this size for some reason. Our local horse stores don’t have any in this size either.

Thank you in advance for any help for Gus!
I’m happy to pay for shipping as well if anyone has one who can not bring it. 🙏 o

We need more mule models!!
Our 2026 calendar photo contest is still going on and there is only one mule photo. 😭
Would anyone like to represent mules and enter them in the contest? It’s a great way to show off your beautiful hybrids that we love so dearly.

You can read more about the contest, and the prizes using the link in the comments. 🌞
Happy Friday!

The newbies, and Calvin got pedicures today. Everyone was so great, except Clara. Clara definetly needs some handling work. She unfortunately was petrified of our farrier. She reared up and kicked out a lot, not to hurt anyone but just to get away from having her feet handled. We will be starting her training daily with positive reinforcement to get her more comfortable with her hoof handling skills.

Halters that fit them both are also on the agenda, as she slipped through two of them. 😬

We did sedate Calvin because he was having a bad day with farrier anxiety too. But he was very well behaved with a little dorm gel to take the edge off. 😌

Gus the donkey was an angel for his hoof trim today! He wanted me to let everyone know that the calendar contest is still going on, and you can still enter photos of your donkey or mule.
If you don’t want to enter a photo, you can also vote or pre-order the calendar.
