About Us

We bought our farm about ten years ago. Renee had her horses boarded and wanted to get a farm so she could keep them at home. I agreed as long as it was clear that I wasn't going to feed, water or clean up after them. One day I was out mowing the pasture on our riding lawn mower when I slowed down for a hole. George one of Renee's horses ran into the back of me. He was following me the whole time and I didn't realize it. That is when he won my heart. One afternoon I went to an auction with a neighbor to sell one of his horses and ended up buying Rhoda our mule. That was the start of my insanity!! The speech about how I was not going to do anything went right out the window. I really lucked out with Rhoda, she is a very patient teacher! She rides and drives, so we thought we would hook her up and go for a ride. After about an hour we finally figured out how to put the harness on her - by this time she knew she was dealing with beginners! Shortly after that a friend told me that he had a couple Lamas at his house that he was holding for the Humane Society. We went and looked at them and felt so sorry for them that they came home with us. In the mean time I built a chicken coop and acquired some chickens, a turkey and some ducks. Then I thought it would be nice to have a miniature donkey, that's when I got in really deep. So I started to search the internet for information on them. When I started to read about miniature donkeys I learned you shouldn't have just one, I needed two. We decided to go visit a few local breeders to see what they had, with the intentions of maybe purchasing two donkeys. At our first stop we left with three! After having them home for a short period of time we decided that we would buy a jack and have a foal or two, that was twenty four donkeys ago!!
