I downsized due to economy. With my husband only bringing in 1/2 the money he used to I found it very hard to maintain a good farrier and provide the care that I believe they deserved. I already mentioned hoof care costed me close to $200/month plus feed, shavings for their stalls and vet care...

I live in Missouri we have weather that changes so drastically that I feel and my vet feels that it is fine to blanket them. I blanket my horses when temps drop below 30 degrees also during show season I blanket at night during drastic temp drops. Last year I went all year and only blanketed...

Well i have decided I am just giving the grain a handful in the morning and a handful at night. just as a treat. I did put a trace mineral block in his stall to help with the lack of minerals. It was pretty difficult getting hay this year so I have a pretty good orchard grass/brome mix that he...

Im getting my first mini donkey this week so I don't know about the Donks yet...but my mini horses actually LOVE the brome hay. I am feeding Orchard Grass /Brome mix and they love it. I am sure my mini donk will feel the same.

You guys have been so awesome!!! I think I have decided. I will probably build a run-in in the Spring so my Donks can hang out and have fun. I will bring them in when weather gets rough with storms or snow and ice. thanks guys for your help.

Hello, I have a nice barn with several nice size stalls in it. I was wondering how many people stall their donks and how many just use run -ins. Oh also, what is the deal with the poop. HAHAHAH I see so many people talking about poop burms. Do they poop more than a mini? is that why so...
