Since a lot of folks don't read the donkey forum I thought maybe it would be OK to post this here.
Since Bonnie talked to Kilroy, I have been able to walk into his stall without a halter and ask him to back. He graciously takes a few steps back. He is happy to do it for treats or scratches. He isn't picky! He loves them both!!!!!!! Before her talk, with a halter on, it was a bit of a battle to get even 1 backward step.
I'd highly recommend a conversation with Bonnie if you're having a problem with an animal. She is a great lady!
