"A Note to Breeders"

We look for excellent conformation in our breeding jennets. Our goal, as breeders, is to produce donkeys that will exhibit show winning halter conformation. We do not sacrifice a fluid way of going, since it is critical in the area of performance and is an equal part of their conformation. We do place a high importance on temperament. A donkey with a good disposition is easier to train and will go a long way in life as a treasured and loving family pet. It is one of the best things about miniature donkeys and we look for this quality in our breeding jennets as well as our jacks.

Our jacks are very small, and most of our jennets are in the 32" to 33½" range. We have all colors including Red, Dark Brown, Black, Gray and Spotted.

What does "Correct" mean to us? It means a donkey has excellent conformation according to the National Miniature Donkey Association (NMDA) breed standard. We have spent much time and effort selecting and breeding top quality animals in the industry, as reflected by our show record (see AWARDS page). Showing is one way to learn the difference between "good" and "best", and we have always, and always will breed for the best quality available in the world of miniature donkeys. We have sold many donkeys who have gone on to become Champions on other farms, and many have left our farm as Champions.

We were in Missouri teaching a clinic on Easter weekend in 2007, and I was praying this jennet would not be born till I returned. It was 18 degrees in Missouri and we actuallly had a big frost in Texas. Well, guess what? The lady that was ranch sitting for me called that morning to tell me Chanel's foal was here! So now you know where she got her name!

What a little darling Easter is. I have been so impressed with her since birth, and she is the most like her dad of all his foals. Her sweet personality and charm make her an absolute favorite around here, and many have wanted her for themselves. We are very proud to present her as a brood jennet on our farm, and look for many great offspring. I just want to keep her in the house!

Easter is obviously a clone of her dad, but her mother, Chanel, is also an exceptional jennet. We look forward to many years and many foals with this adorable little jennet.

Candy Kisses reminded me of a chocolate drop when she was a baby. She was such a beautiful little foal. Growing up, she was always one of my best and most favorite jennets, but as a mature jennet she just blows me away. I love her roaning and her unusual color, but more importantly I love her perfect conformation. I always thought she would be exceptional, and she has not disappointed me at all! Her sweet personality and willing attitude make her a joy to be around.

In addition to her own qualities, she has given us two exceptional foals. I don't think I have ever seen more perfect foals than her two boys. Her first foal, Li'l Angels Black Diamond, went to England as a herd sire and is doing extremely well in the show ring. Her second foal, Candyman, went to another breeder in England, and he has already won three Championships in his first three months over there! Candy's foals are very small, compact, stocky, have perfect legs and gorgeous heads.

Lacey Doll has been "extra" fancy since birth, and we are "extra" proud of her! She was only shown once, but we didn't need that win to tell us how special she is. Lacey looks a lot like her dad, but her mother, Li'l Angels Esther, has always been one of our favorite jennets, as well. Esther also gave us another full sister to Lacey, named Marquise, who is also retained as a future brood jennet. The quality is evident in this proven pairing, and we are proud to have both of these daughters in our breeding program. Esther now resides in Oregon, at Benson Ranch, due to the fact that we have retained these two daughters.

Look for Lacey's foals beginning in the spring of 2011. She is also "extra" sweet, and I expect she is going to have some spectacular foals.

Click here to see Cover Girl's complete pedigree.

Cover Girl was one of the most perfect foals I have ever seen. We chose her and her sister, Lacey Doll, to go to the 2008 NMDA National show because of their very correct conformation, and that "Look at me" attitude! Cover Girl won 2nd behind her sister, but we have always thought she was just as good, if not better. We are extremely pleased to present her as one of our brood jennets.

Cover Girl's mom, October Rose, was our very first Red October foal. She did extremely well in the show ring, and is now owned by Sue Myers of Moonshine Meadows, Idaho. October Rose was not an easy jennet to part with, and we were only able to do so because we have retained Cover Girl and her full sister, Midnight Rose. We think Cover Girl is a very appealing blend of her two parents, and she carries both the black and red gene. Her color is not quite "in" here in these photos, but she is much darker than she looks here. Her cross is visible with her full color in, but only barely. She currently measures 32", but she isn't quite three yet. We will do a mature update this fall, and re-measure her.

Look for foals out of this spectacular jennet beginning in the summer of 2011.

Click here to see Ruby Slipper's complete pedigree.

Ruby Slippers is a real eye catcher, and has been very popular with visitors and breeders. She was a gorgeous foal, like most of Red October's daughters, and we always thought she would grow up to be a spectacular jennet. No great surprise that she is one of the prettiest jennets on my farm. We only took her to one show, in order to compete for the Supreme Champion Sire award that she did help her dad win, along with Crimson Tide and Heaven Sent (below).

Ruby is very small, very stocky, and super cute. Her conformation is excellent, and her disposition is the best. She even looks gorgeous in her winter coat. She is always the first to greet you in the pasture, and LOVES the golf cart! She follows me everywhere, and never misses an opportunity to visit with anyone.

Her mother, Maggie (seen on this page) has been a great producer for us. Maggie has a red sire, and has produced three red daughters sired by Red October. Ruby is a full sister to Katie Scarlett and Cream Tangerine.

Click here to see Heaven Sent's awards.

First, Heaven Sent is one of our treasured daughters out of a little jennet named Lynette. Lynette was a very small, gray jennet who happened to have outstanding conformation. Her topline never dropped even a fraction of an inch, even after eight foals. So bear with me as I give a little history, since Lynette was the first jennet I ever purchased, along with two of her daughters, Emmaline and Olympia.

Lynette is the mother to Emmaline, who was the mother to Li'l Angels Debra Nell (owned and shown by Kenny and Missi Webb of Little Rasscals Miniature Donkeys), Li'l Angels Esther (currently owned by Cindy Benson of Benson Ranch, mother to Lacey Doll and Marquise, both retained for breeding, and Blue Print, a show gelding). Lynette is also the mother to Li'l Angels Jazzlynn, one of our best performance jennets, and a multi champion in both halter and performance. Lynette also produced Li'l Angels Bethany, who is also a superior jennet and a full sister to Heaven Sent. Lynette is also the mother to a jennet named Olympia, who is the mother to Li'l Angels Hannah, also seen below.

So, as you can see, there is a lot of history with this little jennet, Lynette. She is no doubt an outstanding producer, and we are very proud to have many of her daughters and granddaughters on our farm. They are all outstanding quality, and very trainable.

Heaven Sent was only shown once, and won NMDA Junior Reserve Champion at the Texas State Championship in 2007, as a yearling. She is very cute, small and VERY stocky and compact. As a daughter of Red October, she also carries the red gene.

I saw this jennet for the first time at the 2008 National show, and was completely taken with her. She is one of the most perfect jennets on our farm, but it was not easy getting her here! We do appreciate Frank and Mary letting us purchase her, but I can't say they let go without a lot of persuasion! But we were persistent, and she finally came to live with us. I had the pleasure of showing her at the first Texas Shoot out, where she placed third in a very competitive class, and we brought her home after that. She then went to Houston the following spring, and placed first in a large jennet class, as a yearling, and went on to win Reserve Champion behind our own Li'l Angels Axelle. You might say she and Axelle stole the whole show....because they did! She was stunning then, and she is just as beautiful in my pasture. We are very proud to add this superior jennet to our line up of quality breeding jennets. Thanks again, Frank and Mary Williams, of Short and Sweet Miniature Donkeys!

Paulette is a very special jennet for many reasons. First, she is absolutely gorgeous. She has won many Halter Championships, and she is also an outstanding performance jennet. She was also one of my first foal crop, and she is a Jazzy daughter. That makes her a half sister to Sparkle, Jazzlynn and Hannah.

Ozark Jazzy Jamm was our first herd sire, and he was an outstanding producer. He is also the sire to Li'l Angels Shining Spark, and Li'l Angels Axelle, both multiple Halter Champions, and Axelle is a multiple Performance Champion.

Paulette is an outstanding example of his produce, and one of our most treasured jennets. We showed Paulette until she was five, and decided to breed her. She never did take, and we began to think she never would. Finally, she did conceive, and we were all broken hearted when her first foal was presented "transverse". We rushed her to A&M, and they were able to remove the foal, but, of course, it didn't survive. Paulette was devastated, and so were we. Such a long time to wait, for such a great disappointment.

We were getting ready for the Texas Shoot Out in '08, and since she was open, we decided to take her. I didn't want to breed her back right away, even though the vets said she was not damaged. I just wanted to give her a little time. She looked wonderful, and I thought getting ready for a show would take her mind off her baby. She responded to the activity beautifully, and it seemed to be the best medicine for her. To our delight, she won 1st Place 5 & Over Jennets, and Reserve Champion in Halter. That was amazing in itself, but she also went on to show in performance and won the Reserve Champion Open Versatility. What a girl! The trail photo above was taken at that show, and she was shown by my friend, Rose Jones, in the green jacket.

The best part of the story is that we bred her a month after the show, and she conceived right away. Since then she has had her first live foal, and we are thrilled for her. You can certainly see how much she loves him. His name is Sterling, and he is sired by our Li'l Angels Full Moon. If she never has another foal, it was all worth it to see how much she loves this one. I may never take him away from her!

Click here to see Allegra's complete pedigree.

I first saw this beautiful jennet when she was a foal. We almost bought her then, but we had a lot of young ones at that time. Just didn't need another one. Then, some friends went to visit Ida Bess, and they told me they saw a beautiful little brown no light point jennet, and almost bought her. I knew exactly who they were talking about. We went to visit again, and I just totally caved in when I saw her as a yearling. What a beauty!

Allegra lives here now, and we are very proud to have her. In fact, her first foal has been retained as a future brood jennet, and she's a real beauty! Alicia is sired by our very own Li'l Angels Brave Heart (owned and shown by L.J. & Deb Mix, Wee Ones Farm, Tennessee) and will be the only girl we have by him, since he has been sold. Alicia is small, dark, and VERY correct.

You can see in the photos that Allegra is very correct. She is also very upright, and carries herself with grace and beauty. She has a gorgeous way of going, and always holds her head and neck so poised. I also love her sweet temperament. Allegra also carries the red gene, which adds to her versatility.

So far her foal, Alicia, is just as sweet and a very lovely little girl. Look for photos of Alicia on our 'future brood jennet' page.

Click here to see Bethany's complete pedigree.

Bethany is an absolute darling! She is a full sister to Heaven Sent (be sure to read up on their mother in Heaven's write up, above), and sired by Red October, so she carries the red gene.

Bethany has always been special to me. I especially love her sweet face and her disposition is exactly what you see in that face! Super sweet little girl. I grew even more fond of her when she gave us Roscoe, an adorable little jack foal. He is just perfect in every way.

Bethany was our second Red October foal, and I have never seen a more perfect little girl. She was so stocky, and so straight legged at birth. She has her mothers perfect topline, and overall conformation. Actually, both parents have super conformation, so it's no surprise that she is such a nice jennet. She has matured into an exceptional young lady, and we are very proud of her.

Bethany recently gave us another gorgeous jack foal, named Benson. Benson is very small and super stocky. He's a very cute little fellow, with exceptional conformation. Benson is sired by Red Pride, so although he is brown he does carry the red gene from his sire. We expect great things from this little guy, and many more superior foals out of Bethany!
