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 the auction of her best friend, Lola, and -
thankfully - were able to bring her to Iowa also.  What
a calm 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.  
A nicely blended pedigree tops off the whole
package we have found in Miss Mar.

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.  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 is the last jennet that was
sold from Mr. Boone's herd
dispersal, and we feel proud,
lucky, and grateful to have her.
She has given us a jack and a
jenny foal - both are breeding
quality with wonderful round
butts, straight
everything, good
bone, and her red ears!  Cassie's
quality really shows when she
moves across the pasture.  
She is a jennet we plan to enjoy
for a long, long time.

future brood jennet
Very Dark Brown

Jannie is the result of a one-time-only pairing.  Her sire and dam
were loving, intelligent, sassy foals, and I had to see if I could
blend their special personalities.  I gelded Donner, before his
daughter was born, since he was growing too tall to keep as a
herdsire.  Imagine my 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 head pushes, and I got more
than I hoped for.  I plan to breed Jannie to our new black/brown
herdsire in 2008.  Check back to see what develops!
