I have only listed DBS Awards here not MMDA Awards won by our Donkeys.
All these awards were against Standard and Miniature Donkeys. We ONLY show under DBS Panel judges.
We did not show much in 2008 and hardly at all in 2009, with none of our Qualified Donkeys attending the Supreme show in 2009 due to Johnny Paychecks illness.
Welcome to Our web site!
Our goal has always been to breed Miniature Donkeys which will do well in the showring and later make a valuable contribution to the Breed.
As we are presently the ONLY Miniature Donkey Breeders to have bred both a DBS Champion and a Reserve DBS Champion we feel we are achieving this.
We still feel we have the best yet to come and look forward to the future with our Homebred stock striving for more show Champions for ourselves and others.
“Quality” is a term that is often used among breeders and for us it is over all “correct conformation” with the genetic ability to produce selected preferences in breed type. We have not purchased or bred any animals carrying dwarfing traits, we will not compromise our conformation to acquire small (micro mini) animals.
Never compromising on Temprement either and we do not/ have not bought for colour alone.
*Our Donkeys have been selected to build new Herds in Belgium, France and Ireland. With further exports to add to established Herds in France and The Netherlands.
My lifelong interest in Horses, ponies & hounds with almost 30 years of showing collies means I have always had an understanding of fliud movement with correct conformation, something I do not believe can be taught. I have strictly appllied this throughout my own personal selection and breeding program.
While we have never claimed to be the best we know our Donkeys results and the type of foals we breed continue to speak volumes for us.
I still show my dogs at the highest level, yes that includes Crufts and presently serve on two Donkey Breed Society Committee's.
I have now completed my DBS Trainee judges course. Thank you to those who have already asked when I will be available to judge!
We freely offer help and advice, lots of after sales advice as always, see my Testimonials page.
*Congratulations to Mrs Rea with her beautiful Standard Donkey Filly who took the Royal Highland Inhand Championship this year, her first big win and their first show attended after a few tips from Ann!
Visitors always welcome by prior appointment. We do ask for a small donation in the form of a cheque made payable to the Donkey Charity of our choice.
