This is a very, very extra special little girl for more reasons than one! Hula tried so hard to be a no light points jennet and she almost made it except for one tiny smudge on the bridge of her nose...everything else is totally black..even the inside of her ears and her belly. She is only 6 hours old in her baby photos and so far she is so black that we do NOT see a cross!

Photographed above on May 25th, 2006, she is sunburned from the sun but we still do not see a cross and we are confident that she will clip off as black as she was the day she was born.

Update! Hula Hoop has been body clipped and photographed. She is a true black with no visible cross! You might think you see a cross in the new photos above but what you are seeing is a shadow...their is not a hint of a cross on this girl! She does barely have tiny little eye rings that you could not see until she was clipped. Hula Hoop is now in training at Kathy Loudamy's K&K Ranch in Texas! She will begin her show career this November.

Update! First time out....Hula Hoop shown by Kathy Loudamy places 5th out of 14 entries in Miniature Donkey Yearlings at Halter class at the Texas A&M Horseman's Association Donkey & Mule Show November 18th, 2006. We are very proud! Thank you, Kathy!!
