Hey, Corinne and group! Due to Corinne's e-mails, I've actually sat down and updated my address, etc so that I could "check-in" with what's going on in the mini donkey and horse world...or at least on this forum!
I just noticed that I've not been here for over a year! After doing our time as Educators, we are both retired and are enjoying the fun we worked to have. So, to update and correct our news: we now have 6 mini donkeys, 5 standard donkeys (4 of which were wild bred and were captured by the BLM), 10 mini horses, 3 mules and a Haflinger. It sounds like "The 12 Days of Christmas" to list them all. Anyway, all is well here in the wonderful state of New Mexico!
I hope to post some new pics of our latest little jenny who was born here on the 5th of Oct., even though she's not a mini. Actually, she was 34 1/4" at birth! She is out of a BLM adopted jenny we got in May. We have been amazed with how quickly these BLM donkeys have come around to accepting civilization, especially since the two we acquired in May were 8 and 9 yrs old. This has been a fascinating experience!
It's good to read the posts and find out what's going on with everyone. It's especailly nice to see how many more people are learning of the attributes of donkeys. Aren't they wonderful creatures?
Now, I need to read more about what's going on with all of you and yours...and, I'll try to stick around and keep in touch.
