Our jennies are well loved pets and are treated with respect and sensitivity at all times ensuring for a contented little herd. In keeping with our aim to breed only the classic Miniature Mediterranean Donkey plus in keeping with the National Miniature Donkey Association of America breed type we expect our present Jennies to produce foals which will mature at between 31″ and 34″ in height and to have quality babies with good strong bone, good conformation, with friendly, well adjusted temperaments and dispositions.
To reach this goal of breed type over the years we have rather reluctantly had to part with a few of our dear, faithful and original Jennies – These girls are now on our Sold Jennies page.
Colour is not our main prerogative but with our jack Clovercrest Satchmo and most of current girls carrying the red gene we are very happy to be producing some nice quality red donkeys.
Below are all our present Jennies pictured with their respective foals.

RIP Violet 28.02.2018 xxoo
Originally imported from USA to Clovercrest stud, New Zealand, and joining us in March 2012- Red Violet is daughter of the well known multi champion American jack Lazy Nissen Foxworthy. Her colour is magnificent – a brilliant, vibrant red. Violet makes an exceptional and exciting addition to our stud with her pedigree (her lines trace back to the original imports into America), conformation, colour and temperament all being outstanding.
Dear Violet has given us this perfect classic light grey dun jack foal. Antipodes is our last foal from Chateau’s Texas Ambassador – a perfect and delightful little boy.

Madalaina is a bit special being our hand raised girl who was rejected by her mother at birth. We have been very aware of making her know she is a donkey and she has developed into a lovely well balanced girl both mentally and physically.
She is stunning red in colour and very nice conformation. We love our Madalaina of course!

Red Poppy is extra special in that she is the only Jenny foal out of our precious imported USA girl Cyder’s Red Violet. She is the brilliant red russet colour of her mum with a small star. Her pedigree full of reds and blacks. She has grown into a lovely well rounded girl. She is line bred to the rather famous and well recognised boy Lazy Nissan Foxworthy. We are so thrilled with this cross of Violet with Satchmo.
Looking forward to putting her to QM Half Dollar for a 2019 foal.

We are so fortunate to have been able to buy Maya back. She was Satchmo’s first born. We would not have sold her on had we known we would one day own a second jack.
She is solid and stocky and sweet and quiet natured. We bought her in foal to Quarter Moon Laptop (Imp USA). This September baby should be a stunner!

Dam – Winterwood’s Mimi Ht 31 3/4″
We named her Miss Showbaby after her beautiful grandmother AssPirrin Acres Showbaby imported from America into NZ by Peter and Marion VanDijk of Clovercrest Stud. Miss Showbaby was the first of Showbaby’s grand daughters to be born after her sad death in 2018. I loved Showbaby and we are so priveledged to own her son Clovercrest Satchmo, father of Miss Showbaby.
Only still a baby herself we feel Miss Showbaby is shaping up to be everything her grandmother was. Just love this girl!
