| Brayers Are Us Li'l Miss Margarita 32 5/8" Brown with Cross and Garters 09 May 2002 #34163 Li'l Miss Margarita almost slipped through our fingers at the first Great American Miniature Donkey Sale. We had won her best friend, Lola, and - thankfully - were able to bring her to Iowa also. What a calm, willing sweetheart! She waits her turn for attention, is easy to halter, lead, load, clip -- everything! Her brown coat is the silkiest velvet of all our donks, and her fancy garters really stand out in the summer pasture. She has given us two jennet foals and a 2008 jack foal who wears those fancy garters all around. A nicely blended pedigree tops off the whole package we have found in Miss Margarita. |

| Brayers Are Us Lola 32" Dark Brown 30 May 2002 #34160 Lola bought me. She and Miss Margarita were together in their pen, waiting for the next day's auction at The Elms Great American Miniature Donkey Sale. I leaned in and she pushed her nose into the crook of my neck. That was it! We have spent many hours together with her nose buried in my neck. Stephanie Dove told me her nickname as a foal was "love-bug." I decided to try one time to blend Donner's (my special pet) and Lola's personalities, before gelding Donner. Their jennet foal, Jannie, has exceeded all expectations. With Dinero, Lola has given us two very dark jack foals. Lola is small, compact, correct, and has strong breeding behind her. She is a perfect example of why miniature donkeys are so wonderful. |

Boone's Little Cassie 34 1/2" Rose/Gray-dun 28 April 2002 #38563 Cassie came to us from the dispersal of Mr. Boone's long-standing herd, and we are proud, lucky, and grateful to have her. She has given us 3 top-quality foals -- all with wonderful round butts, straight everything, good bone, and her red ears! Cassie's strength and refinement really show when she trots out across the pasture. Here is a jennet we plan to love and enjoy for a long, long time. |
| Sassy Asses Li'l Jannie 33" Very Dark Brown 15 July 2005 #48173 Jannie is the result of a one-time-only pairing. Her sire and dam are loving, intelligent, sassy asses, and I was able to blend their special personalities. We expected Donner's light gray-dun coloring to appear, so imagine our surprise, when this super-dark little girl trotted up the hill with her mother! Jannie and her sire both "shake hands;" Jannie and her dam both want lots of loving, which they demand with nuzzles and closeness; and we have a stunning jennet in her forever home. Jannie has been bred to our new herdsire, Hello Maxx, for a 2009 foal -- check back to see what develops! |
