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 30″ and 33″ 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 our past and present jacks have all been either red or carry a red gene plus all of our jennies bar one either being red or carrying a 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.

Not supposed to have favourites but sshhh Tallulah is mine. Now the oldest of our girls I know she will stay here always. I love her silver colour which has a very soft pink hue in summer.
I had her colour tested at UC Davis as her colour has always intrigued me. She came back ee which means she is red. In which case all her babies to Satchmo (red) by genetics have to be red.
Whatever her colour she is much loved and her offspring very special.

Just as we expected an exceptional little man from Tallulah and Satchmo. He’s tiny stocky and square with fantastic conformation. His colouring unusual – like his mum but more red than her.

Our little treasure. I think Mimi is divine. With her dam and sire both being imported her lines are unique in Australia. I have been wanting this lovely light red colour in a small, quality Miniature Mediterranean for some time and I thank Bruce and Judy Rigg of Winterwood so much for letting us have Mimi.

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!
