ok, so my freind rides at this barn. The owner/trainer/instructor is training this donkey for a customer. They have ground drove it ONCE! and they just hitched it to a cart, and let it run around like a mad mad while laughing and taking videos! you can't tell me that that donkey was ready to be hitched. I acutally was the first (and only) person to ground drive it. And she had me running around with it trotting the whole time. it didn't have breaks and didn't back. I expect my donkeys to be able to walk, stop, stand, and back before I'm gong to hitch them. Idk, i stand firmly by my belief that donkeys they way you train horses, it don't work that way. This trainer, as a horse trainer is acutally really good and knows what she's doing. but it is almost like she's taking it like a joke to train a donkey. The owner (i know the owner personally) of the donkey could have sent the donkey to me, paid me FAR less to keep the donkey on my property and (attempt) to train it, or at least get it started ground driving. (that sound/'s cocky, but you get what i mean) (i only mean it in a figurative way).
it just kind of made me mad that some one would just throw a harness on a donkey hitch it and go to town.
