Mirror P Miniature Donkeys

Mirror P Miniature Donkeys Our ADMS registered miniature Mediterranean donkeys are raised with love to be wonderful pets and companions - we love longears! And we bet you will too!

Years ago I became an admirer when I saw my first miniature donkey, a weanling jack named Bud Light that my friend Jean Roark brought home from the Bishop Mule Show... she told me she was getting more from a guy in Texas and I asked her, "Does he have more???" and he did, so I became a convert when we brought home our first 3 jacks from MacFord Ranch, thanks Jim Stafford!!! Over the next few years

as I became an addict we made 3 more trips to Texas, buying more jack foals from Jim and jennets from Diane Marino. And now, for the benefit of folks in this area who want miniature donkeys and cannot afford the time or money for a 4-day trip to East Texas, I have become a pusher LOL, raising miniature donkeys here so that they are readily available. So far I have sold every foal, except those I have kept, before it was weaned, and I have a list of folks waiting for the next batch of foals. I only breed a few a year, and I will stop when the demand stops, but for now we are good to go, and the funds raised from the sale of the foals are added to the hay fund which supports the rescues we take in as well as our own herd. I like to think that my beloved donkeys are giving back to their not-so-lucky compatriots that find their way to us - as the starfish story goes, "It makes a difference to THIS one!"

So Monday I posted this trough with half my jennets (11)… this was Thursday, got 16 at once this time! 6 spotted, the other 3 spotted girls are in the foaling pen early because there are misters there and it’s SO hot 🥵 and they are already SO big (bellies) even though not due until November!

Half of my mini donkeys 🫏 in one shot!! 13 girls… the 4 boys couldn’t ever be in the same photo and the other 9 girls were elsewhere. Now looking ahead to the upcoming foaling season which starts in November, I have 6 mamas for sure, and 8 more possible/probable but not 100% sure yet, plus 8 definitely open due to 6 spring foals last season and the last 2 maidens… 🙏🙏🙏 for more November/December foals again this year, last season should have been much better so hoping this coming season makes up for it!! Hoping for more girls this season as well, a ratio like the one before last would be awesome 🤩

Of course, healthy foals no matter the gender or color are most important!

For now, a 3-month break, with no babies.

I was finally able to get back over to Chaparral Equine Hospital to pick up the ashes of Firemann Dann a couple of days ago… brought the bag in from the car but took me a couple of days before i could bring myself to open it. Imagine my surprise when I found a small box next to the bigger one… I knew they do this with pawprints for dogs, never had an equine small enough I could afford cremation so I’m smiling through tears 🥲 how adorable is this?!?

EDITED to add a second photo, in my hand, for size comparison… hubby said the first one, no one who hadn’t seen Firemann Dann in person would realize how tiny it was.

Bye bye Archie!!! Last foal going home today, lucky boy riding in the AC! It’s always a concern when the late spring foals go home in the heat of summer, so either EARLY morning or inside the truck lol 😂 luckily they are small!!

Now a break for me… although as always I will be impatient for the next foals well before they are due 🤷‍♀️🙄

Since he would have been 6 months old today, I’m finally making myself share his loss 💔💔💔 RIP Firemann Dann, 12/27/2024 ...

Sharing my favorite photos from his too-short life.

His dash - wasn’t near as long as I expected, or wanted 💔 but at least he didn’t suffer long. I first thought it was heat stroke when I found him down, but compressing 4 hours of panic, which I’m honestly not ready to go into all that detail again so soon, long story short vet diagnosed torsion colic and estimated a less than 50% chance he would survive the anesthesia let alone actual surgery… so I made that dreaded decision to let him go and break my heart, because I couldn’t keep him here in pain and distress knowing it very well wouldn’t make a difference to try. The only bright spot is that at a mere 77 pounds, I was able to choose cremation with ashes returned, at dog pricing rather than much higher equine pricing, so my tiniest donkey 💙 will be returning home to hang out on my shelf with my tiniest dog 💝.

The first half of 2025 has brought TOO many challenges… I need the second half to cut me some slack 🥺🥺🥺
