SMALL IN SIZE…BIG IN HEART….this says it all about another precious spotted jack born at Half Ass Acres last week. The foals this year have simply been outstanding and we have been so blessed.

It has taken a while to get pictures and videos taken as we have had so many rainy days or days with no sun. Finally we were able to capture Smalls with his mother, Sailor, as they were finally able to go out in the pasture for some much needed sun and exercise.

Smalls is only 19.25” tall but he stands and poses, struts and runs, as if he thinks he is ten feet tall. His dark spots are beautifully placed, and he holds his gorgeous head so upright showing a look of determination, a look of sweetness, and a look of 'I’m little, but, I’m big'….just so cute and personality plus shines right through those eyes so beautifully surrounded with dark patches and dark eyeliner.

The movie 'Sandlot'  is known for a famous quote, “you're killing me Smalls” that Bob Lowenstein is always saying to me so we decided to name this little guy Smalls…it suits him to a “T.”

Be sure to check out Small’s video as it captures his energy and his love for his mother, Sailor. We are equally as proud of Sailor and Napoleon for this adorable little jack…good job!

Smalls attended his first show in July 2011, for his new owners at Asspen Grove Miniature Donkeys in British Columbia, Canada. He was not shown in halter but did very well in his first performance classes. Smalls won 2nd place in Hunter Jumping Amateur (in a jump off against seasoned veterans!) and 6th place in Pre-Green Trail against 14 other competitors at The 2911 Westerner Days Miniature Donkey Extravaganza in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada . Way to go!! We are very proud of you!
