I just found out from the vet that one of my donkeys has lice (which means they probably all do ). I of course was mortified, but the vet said donkeys are susceptible to lice. I read online that donkeys need to be treated for lice 5 times a year? Is this true? I had no idea it was such a...

We have a gray jenny with a lot of spots in her pedigree. Her parents were both gray, but farther back there's both spotted and white. I was wondering if it would be worth it to breed her to a spotted jack (with the intention of trying to get a spotted baby)? What is also confusing me is...

We've given a few kids a bareback "pony" ride on our gelding Wilbur and he was awesome about it. We were thinking about getting him a saddle, but I wasn't sure what size to get. Would a mini horse saddle work? Or do I need to measure him? Also do any of you use bridles with your minis or...

Hubby and I came home from the Mount Airy mini donkey auction with a boat load of donkeys (ok it was only 4 donkeys) bringing our heard up to 6:5 donkeys and 1 mule. One of them is a month old (bought mama too of course) and another is 6 months old. These are our first babies so I'm not sure...
