My 2nd longear! I wonder if Earl will be happy to not be the only donkey here? LOL!
So, this is my new girl. She is nameless so far. I didn't meet the seller, she was kept at his sister's house. He told me she wasn't halter broke. Then when we got there, sister's hubby acted like she would be REALLY difficult to halter and deal with... though he did say he made a lot of progress as being her friend in the 3 months they had her... so I wasn't quite sure what we would be dealing with... we 'herded" her to the trailer and she jumped in, rode loose (since she had no halter! LOL).
WHen we got home I cautiously went in, and had no probs petting her
SHe was a little nervous when I put the halter on, but again, just fine! I led her like I would a baby: rope around her butt vs yanking on her face, and she walked pretty well! Stopped a couple times, once at a little dip in our yard, and a couple times passing our other equines.
Anyhow, here are some bad pics... I promise better ones soon
And since most (if not all?) of you don't know who Earl is, since I"m new to this part of the forum, Earl is my 2 year old chocolate donkey gelding. I have always wanted a mini donkey, but got into mini horses before I got my donkey... not last Christmas, but the one before that (2005) hubby got me my donkey
I had wanted a grey girl, but we ended up falling for this chocolate boy. (course, now I have both!
) Earl is a ton of fun...I'm sure the new girl will be, too!
I think they'd make a cute driving pair
