We are deeply committed to raising the very finest
miniature donkeys possible.  All foals are
imprinted at birth and handled every day. We
have had extensive experience using our miniature
donkeys as "therapy animals".  We have one
jennet that has logged nearly 500 hours of
community service: visiting in nursing homes,
challenged people, schools, and churches.
