Donkeys
The Croajingolong Donkey Stud |
I have three breeding jennies,one jack and a five year old gelding who has been trained to pull a cart. I had an unwelcome visit from a German shepherd dog a year or so ago that thought it would be good fun to chase my goats. He had a change of heart when the jack decided to attack him, so the tables were turned. If you have never heard a jack scream when he is after a dog you are really missing something. It is quite terrifying. The dog thought so too and rapidly changed his mind on what he intended to do in the first place. Occasionally the donkeys will chase the goats too but it's only a half hearted attempt and the goats soon learn to get out of the way. Don't put small animals in with a newly kidded jenny as they are very protective & will attempt to kill anything that goes too close to her little darling. |
This is my jack also called Jack. |

This is Mickie again the very first time in his cart. He was quite exhausted in this photo as he had just pulled me up the hill. |
This is Mickie now as a five year old and much more confidant and happier pulling the cart |
This is my grand-daughter Johanna riding Mickie |
