bullpoop
you know........fill me in
cant wait to see what happens......

I guess they are a lot like appaloosas......everyday is a different day......hahahah :cowboyhound.gi

I've only worked with a donkey trimming it's feet. Lets just say that the session is over when they decide May be a little easier is stop a mini from plowing you over...I didn't have much luck with the standard size.

Let me know how it goes. I would love to have a donkey. Are you going to have him ready to
pull cart when we come up? Can't wait to see him.

Nancy....I was thinking that if Ii could teach him to lead consistantly that would be a big step never mind in the buggy....he does actually have a mind of his own.......hahaha :cowboyhound.gi

Sounds like a fun challenge. :Zebra_mc.gif:

Our neighbour has a donkey and he seems pretty stubborn. I think its good you got your boy young. Perhaps clicker training?

more like cookie training........hahaha........kidding :cowboyhound.gi

Hey Joan-go to this website, information about leading , how to handle, lunge donkeys.
Looks interesting and may help. http://www.calkinsart.net/donkeyinfo/vldonktrain3.html

thanks Nancy....... :cowboyhound.gi

The two little mini donkeys I used to "work with" were nearly impossible to get to do anything. Should be a fun challenge for you Joan!

My donk has round penned, longed, been ground driven and ridden. It was a laugh a minute, but he wanted to please. That was many years ago now, he's 15 and thinks he's retired, lol.

thanks Twilight..........maybe you could give me some tips later.
