We have 39 brood jennets that we breed approxiamately every two years. Their heights range from 28¼" to 33½" with an average height of 31½". We have 17 young jennets that will not be bred until they are close to 4 years of age. As these young jennets are added to our breeding program we will be offering some of our other jennets for sale to keep our herd at a manageable number. We want to always be able to give each of our donkeys the individual attention that they so crave. Some of these jennets may be offered with their new foals at their sides.

We have had 14 foals so far in 2010. We have 5 more due from September thru November. Jennets are lined up below in the order that we expect them to foal next or when they last foaled.

Click MDR sticker to see Boo's complete pedigree!

Picabo was owned by our mentors, Ed & Linda Trimnell of Windcrest Acres, since she was a young foal and Linda considered her to be her best producing jennet. When Windcrest Acres went out of business due to health reasons Picabo was sold to Kathy Loudamy at K & K Ranch. Picabo produced many more champions while owned by Kathy and she would have never parted with her except that she was the hardest donkey to catch she had ever encountered. Since Kathy is usually always alone at the barn she offered her to me since my husband is retired and we do all of our donkey chores together. I have admired Picabo and her offspring thoughout all the years I have been involved in donkeys and I jumped at the chance to own such a fantastic little spotted donkey. I thought I would have no trouble training Miss Picabo to easily be caught.

Day one of owning her: I kept her in a stall and small paddock and gave her a treat every time I passed her but only if she would allow me to put the halter on her. I must have repeated this lesson no less than 50 times that day. Late that afternoon I turned Picabo out in a larger pasture since I was going to be gone all the next day. About an hour later I went to her pasture just to see if I could catch her. Well....... she ran like the wind  before I even got within 30' of her!! She was so far away that she could not have heard me saying 'cookie, cookie' if I had used a megaphone. A cowboy with a 500' rope could not have lassoed her!! I called Kathy and told her I wanted my money back. Kathy promptly told me that Picabo was my 'diet donkey' and she insisted I keep her so that I would be forced to lose weight. At this rate I should weigh about 100 lbs by this time next year. If you are ever this way please stop by for a visit and help me catch Miss Boo so I can worm her and do her little hooves occasionally. All help will be so appreciated. Just consider visiting Picabo and me instead of going to the gym. I will keep you posted on the continuing saga of  "Catch Me If You Can".

"Boo" has retained her great conformation through eight foals and due to her refusal to be caught easily. She is square and drafty and she is a long time producer of show quality donkeys with her same outstanding build.

Picabo is bred to Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates for a September 14th, 2010 foal but I swear I don't know how he caught her!!! Boo is bff with Tilly but is temporarily best friends with Valerie while in the maternity ward.

Thank you to The Randall Family for their expert assistance in handling Miss Boo during her photo shoot!! Now you can see why I love her even if she is hard to catch sometimes!

Boo is now under the barn cam in the 2nd stall and paddock with Valerie who is also due late this fall. Boo started her 'bag' on July 30th, 2010. It looks like she may be the next jennet to foal but she is running a close race with Cee Cee.

Boo has produced the following eight foals:

1) Windcrest Little Trinket, 6/16/98, a show winner;
2) Windcrest Little Chanelle, spotted jennet 6/2/00, a show winner;
3) Windcrest Sky's The Limit, 3/29/01, 2002 Grand Natl ACOSA Spotted Jack Eastern Nationals;
4) Windcrest Over the Top, 8/22/02, loud colored spotted jack foal ACOSA two & under National Champion & Reserve Champ;
5) Windcrest April Charm, 4/04/04, dark spotted jennet.
6) Windcrest Destiny, her 2005 jack foal, and a full brother to April Charm;
7) KKR Tuff Enough, 4/06/07, dark spotted jack with blue eyes;
8) KKR Eight Belles, gray jennet 8/16/08.

Click MDR sticker to see Ten's complete pedigree! (transfer in progress)

We will be measuring and taking new photos & videos of Ten soon. Ten is a full sister to Stonegate Acres Ciara, NMDA Champion & Best of Breed winner, along with many other halter and performance wins. Ten has an awesome front and rear end on her, very full hindquarters, and has the most beautiful head you could ask for. And you couldn't ask for a sweeter, kinder temperament. You can do anything with her.

Ten rejected her first foal so we raised him on a bottle. We will be breeding Ten soon and give her one more chance to be a mom. Maybe she just was not mature enough to handle raising a foal. She has been trained for halter and trail obstacles by Wayne Lyon so she will make a fantastic performance donkey if she doesn't want to be a mom. 

Ten has produced one foal:

1) KKR Doo-Dah Day, 4/21/10, brown/gray future gelding.

We have measured her several times since we have owned her and she has measured exactly 29¾" every time.

Sailor is stocky, correct, and so very, very tiny! Sailor is a full sister to Bedazzled and Ma Bell. Sailor is now at Kathy Loudamy's being trained and shown.

Update! Sailor is home from Kathy's after three months of intensive training. She is now a perfect little lady and will trot beside you on command, side pass, back, etc. Money well spent. Sailor was shown at two shows while she was away and she placed 5th and 4th in her two classes and was a perfect little lady. We are very proud of our little Sailor. Thank you, Kathy, for a job well done! Photos above were taken on October 14th, 2008. Didn't Kathy do a great job of getting Sailor into show condition! Sailor did not really 'get into' being a show donkey. She is too laid back. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get her ears and head up for her new photos. That's ok...she can live out her life here being nothing but a mom to her beautiful future babies! Sailor is bff with Ramona.

Click MDR sticker to see Tilly's complete pedigree!

We purchased Tilly because she has been buddied up with Picabo for years and years and we just hate to separate best friends. We just love the Trenton line and Tilly is a daughter of Trenton. This line produces such great legs on their foals! Tilly is as sweet as they come and easy to catch if you can ever separate her from her best friend, Picabo, the race donkey. Tilly has black/brown spots that are so popular now and she has a beautiful spot pattern. Tilly has wonderful conformation with a beautiful short wide head. We also have Tilly's daughter, Windcrest Autumn Sunrise, and her thrid generation granddaughter, KKR Pocketful of Poseys, in our herd now. They both have absolutely outstanding conformation just like their mom, Tilly. Tilly is bff with Picabo!

Thank you to The Randall Family for their expert assistance in handling Tilly during her photo shoot!!

Click MDR sticker to see Bridget's complete pedigree!

Now this girl has it all...style, class, conformation, rich sorrel color, and that adoring personality. She is one of our most stocky jennets. Bridget won first in Halter Jennets and first in the Solid Color Class out of 9 entries at the Hohenwald County Fair when owned by Wit's End Farm. Photos above were taken one day after foaling in September 2008.

Bridget and her best friend, Strawberry, were hospitalized with botulism poisoning on 2/9/10. Sadly we lost Strawberry and her red jennet foal was stillborn by c-section. Bridget has been in the hospital valiantly fighting for her life for two weeks now. She is now over the botulism but she has developed hyperlipidemia. On 2/22/10 at 2:15am she delivered her foal under vet supervision. Bridget is still so sick that she can hardly think of her foal but, so far, she is accepting him and making attempts to let him nurse after much intervention. Please continue to pray for a full recovery for Bridget and that her new little precious foal, nicknamed Mister Big, will be just fine too. I intend to post an entire update about the signs of botulism and what you can do to save your donkey. Right now our first priority is getting these two home healthy and safe. Thank you to all that are praying for their recovery. A special thank you to our personal vet, Dr. Greg Harris, and to all the vets at Tennnessee Equine Hospital and especially to Dr. Mat Povlovich and Dr. Jessica DeLisle. Another big 'thank you' to Sandy Dorris who spent the entire day with me at the vets yesterday. Your support was so greatly appreciated. Video is on the newborn page!

Bridget and ner new foal, Big Money, are now home from the vets. Bridget does not have enough milk so we are feeding Mister Big every two hours around the clock. You can help us watch them on our barn cam. Forgive us if we have not answered your emails. We are too exhausted to do anything but care for our donkeys. Please continue to pray for Bridget and Big to have a complete recovery!

Update!! 3/10/10: Bridget and Mister Big Money appear to have made a complete recovery! Thank you to everyone for your prayers!! But especially....Praise the Lord!!

Bridget is the dam of the following four foals:

We purchased Summer from Wit's End Farm along with her best friend and half-sister, Strawberry. These jennets have never been separated. We love this jennet also and can't decide which one we like better! In fact they look so much alike that I had them confused with one another before I figured it out from carefully comparing their photos I had taken of them over the years!

Summer is the dam of the following six foals:

1) Windcrest Little Shogun, 2001, dark brown herd sire at Running R Minis in Campbell, Mo.;
2) Windcrest Sunrise Melody, 4/24/02, a dark red jennet;
3) Wit's End Win One for the Gipper, 6/08/04, a dark red jack;
4) Wit's End Spring Fever, 4/10/07, a dark red jennet;
5) HHAA Apple of My Eye (a.k.a. Eve)9/07/08, dark red jennet.
Eve was The NMDA Junior Champion at The Oregon Mule & Donkey Show August 2010!

6) HHAA Le Roux, 3/5/10 dark red jack.

Bee was sold as a yearlling in 2004 and we were happy to welcome her back to Half Ass Acres in August of 2010. Bee is a full sister to Ma Bell, Hey Sailor and Miss HiFalutin.

We will try to settle her in foal later this fall when the weather is cooler. Whether she is able to have a foal or not we are happy to give Bee a forever home here at Half Ass Acres.

I have grouped together all the photos we have taken of the changes you will see when a jennet is close to foaling to help you learn what to watch for. We hope these photos help you know when to expect your foals.
