The reality of trying to take photos of donkey foals 🤣
One of our friends working with Money! He met her only minutes prior to her taking him over the obstacles. Such a smart boy.
Fun fact: several of our donkeys LOVE dewormer 🤣
Gender test on our 3 girls due in the fall! Circle means girl. Straight line means boy. All three are showing girls 🤞🏻 this was our first time ever doing it. It was a lot of fun. It’ll be interesting to keep track and see how accurate it is. We tested it on 4 other donkeys too (not in video). 2 who are confirmed in foal by ultrasound and 2 who we hope are in foal (still too early to officially know). They showed 2 boys and 2 girls. We will try again in a few months, For those that we for sure know are not pregnant, it would not move.
SAMD Optical Illusion (Mirage) and her first field trip! She did absolutely fantastic for her first time ever being off of our property. Of course, I had to add her sassy trot at the end!
HHAA Smitten’s Tennessee Mojo. Watch till the end for his new skills. First time ever trying a jump today and 3rd day of side passing. One smart dude
SAMD Do A Little Dance (Giddy)
Our retained 2024 jennet foal ❤️
Medley… not friendly at all 🙄🤣🤣
This video is becoming very popular on our insta… so I thought that some of you would also enjoy this silly video of Giddy 🤣
Money giving another water obstacle a try. He’s grown up with walking through the plastic pool but it never had water in it. He was behaving like a pro. I have never seen a donkey be so easy going about learning to walk through a water obstacle! Only 2 months old. He’ll make someone very happy.
SAMD Just Charge It (Money)
Take a look at all of the things that this 2 month old foal has ready accomplished! He already has such a great foundation. Message if interested
These babies are having fun! Look at Money strutting his stuff.

One of our brood jennets, KKR Million Dollar Baby, giving the obstacles a try! She is an own daughter of Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates and is the dam of our available foal, SAMD Just Charge It (Money). She was never interested in trying obstacles but she absolutely blew us away today! She went over teeter totters, sliding boards, through the water obstacle, pool noodles, and more! Milli was our very first jennet. It is fun seeing just how much our relationship has grown for her to do all of these things with us now!
Medley’s first day being turned out!
We had the best helper with training yesterday! Ollie took Mayzie over many obstacles and worked great with the donkeys. But in all seriousness… for Mayzie only being a year old… can you believe how well she behaved for Ollie?? ❤️
After teaching Ziggy how to sit on the bean bag… he eventually decided to slowly roll onto his hip and lay down. We were cracking up. Ziggy is our 1 year old Jack. Young jennets were around him but he did not care… and yes, he knows he’s a man lol. He just wanted scratches! We just adore this little man
The mixture of today’s downpours and Mayzie’s haircut has made Mayzie pretty frisky 🤣 Mirage also joined in on the fun!
4 day old SAMD Much Like You (Medley) and her first time ever having her hooves picked up! No practice before taking this video. Our foals just continue to surprise me. Such smart babies! ❤️
SAMD Optical Illusion (a.k.a. Mirage) has conquered the teeter totter!
