ADOPTED
✨ Available for adoption ✨

11 year old BLM jenny (first picture) and 8 year old BLM jenny (second picture) gathered from the Twin Peaks CA HMA. Both stand approx 12 hands tall.

These girls are friendly, personable, and enjoy attention and treats. They are good to catch, stand tied, lead, allow grooming, load in the trailer and have had their feet trimmed. They are up to date on Coggins and vaccines. They spent 3 months in training with us last fall and are ready for their forever home. Because they are formerly wild b***os, an adopter with previous b***o/donkey experience would be best for them to continue their training. A home that would adopt both would be preferable as these jennies are a bonded pair.

An approved BLM application is required to adopt along with the $25 transfer fee to BLM and a 7️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ training fee for each b***o.

Located in Vale, OR. Delivery possible.

***He has found a home!***

Elvis is still looking for his future family! ❤️ Lots of info about him on this page, I have a trailer headed through Burns, Bend and to western Oregon (Corvallis area) this Sunday! He could hop right in!

Another video of the second jenny and the last TIP b***o we will ever have ❤️ congratulations to her adopters!

We’re celebrating this little jenny meeting her TIP requirements and finding her forever home! 🩷

***Both have found homes!***

The time has come to find Elvis and Hagrid their forever homes ❤️ These will be the last b***os we will have available for the foreseeable future. Both b***os will come with current vaccinations, dentals, Coggins/health certificates (if needed), and hoof trims. They are sale authority so no BLM application required.

“Elvis” is a 16 year old (though we suspect much older) gray gelding, approx 12 hands tall. He has super neat stripes on all four legs. He is from the Seven Troughs HMA in Nevada and was gathered in August 2022. He was the Overall Adult B***o Champion at the 2023 Mustang Mania TIP Challenge in Nampa, ID in July. He has been in our care for the last 6 months. Elvis is a sweet old soul; he loves neck scratches and attention. He is still cautious of strangers and needs a home that is experienced handling older b***os. He is very slow footed and doesn’t spook easily. He is quiet and not aggressive towards any other animals including our dogs, cats and chickens. Due to his age, he would do best in a home as a pet or companion to another equine. Elvis is good to catch, leads, loads in a trailer, and picks up all four feet.

“Hagrid” is an 11 year old gray gelding and stands approx 13 hands tall. He is a BIG, strong and stocky b***o. He is also from the Sevens Troughs HMA in Nevada and was gathered in August 2022. He placed 3rd overall in the Adult B***o division at the 2023 Mustang Mania TIP Challenge in Nampa, ID in July. He has been in our care for the last 6 months. Hagrid is extroverted and friendly; he is sensitive and quicker footed and likes to move out. He would make an excellent pack b***o or riding b***o for a small adult or child with further training. He likes to “defend” his stall and pasture space from small animals and will chase out our neighbor’s dogs. We would recommend an experienced home for him as well due to his size and sensitivity. He will bray at you morning and night and enjoys attention, and he gets along well with other b***os and horses. Hagrid is good to catch, leads, loads in a trailer, and picks up all four feet.

We want to find the best possible homes for these special boys that will continue their training and understand their individual quirks and personalities. Asking 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ each or will make a special deal for taking both. Located in Vale, OR. Delivery possible.

Check out this sneak peek of the pretty brown jenny #3078! She is actually the perfect subject for a video series I’m working on showcasing how Matt and I gentle and train wild b***os. This jenny is very nervous and defensive, and she made some great improvements in this session. My hope is that by sharing what we’ve learned, we can help others stay safe while working with their newly adopted b***os ❤️

Also I need help with a name for her… drop your suggestions below! ⬇️

Gathered outside of HMA in California 8/2022

I’m so excited to announce that this special jenny is going to be my partner in a video series all about how we gentle and train our BLM b***os! ⭐️ This is something I’ve wanted to create for a while and I’m so excited to share her journey, along with commentary and tips, in a video format for viewers. I think she’s going to be the perfect candidate for this project 🩷 I’ll release information on how to access these videos in a few weeks!

By the end of the series, she will have met her TIP requirements (easy to catch, lead/groom, pick up all four feet and load in a trailer) plus lots more like obstacle introductions, saddling/packing, ponying, farrier preparation/hoof trimming, and showing!

This jenny is going to be *available* for reassignment following the conclusion of filming! Adoption fee TBD and will need approved BLM application. Located in Vale, OR. Delivery possible.

Have you ever seen more beautiful donkeys? 😍

These three BLM jennies arrived today and will be available for adoption once they are gentled! I’ll be posting updates on these ladies as their training progresses, we’ve got some fun plans in the works.

Please shoot me a message if you’re interested in reserving one or more of these b***os!

Hagrid also got the spa treatment today so we could get some updated pictures! He really likes attention and is fun to take around on walks. He is one of the stockiest b***os we’ve had and is pretty good sized! He is 11 years old.

Hagrid is going to be available for adoption following the Mustang Mania Event TIP Challenge during the first weekend in July. He is sale authority so no BLM approval required.

14/06/2023

Elvis got all cleaned up today to get some new pictures! He’s put on weight and is shedding out into a beautiful gray color. While his paperwork has him aged at 16 years old, he’s likely much older judging by his teeth. He’s a shy, sweet guy and is getting more confident every day!

We’ve reached the halfway point in the countdown to the 2023 Mustang Mania TIP Challenge with Elvis and Hagrid! Their world is getting a little bigger with each session and we’re taking things one day at a time. B***os in general like to do things on their own schedule, and these older gentlemen are no exception, so we’re grateful for what they’ve given us ❤️

They are special boys and doing so well. Elvis and Hagrid will be ready for their forever home following the show in July! 🏡

Patience, not-so-young grasshoppers 🦗 🙏🏻

All jokes aside, these boys are superstars! ⭐️

Matt has chosen to name his gentle giant “Hagrid” 🧙‍♂️ We think there is something magical brewing between those long ears!

Matt wants to also express his appreciation and gratitude towards the anonymous B***o Angel that sponsored Hagrid’s adoption fee. Thanks to you, Hagrid is one step closer to finding his forever home! ❤️ Thank you B***o Angel!

I decided to name this sweet guy “Elvis”, because I know there’s a confident, show-stopping ladies man in there somewhere! ❤️😍

Day 1 - Tags off and lots of scratches for our b***o buddies! 💙 Both of these geldings are from Seven Troughs, NV.

Matt’s b***o “Hagrid” is 11 years old and good sized, around 13 hands tall. He will make a great riding donkey someday! He’s more extroverted, curious, a busy-body and very sure of himself. He couldn’t get enough of Matt and sniffed him all over!

Shauna’s b***o “Elvis” is 16 years old and smaller framed, around 12 hands. He has a deep scar on his nose and was very concerned about having his head touched, but eventually relaxed all the way into some cheek scratches. He is very cautious, shy, thinks through everything before acting…. Hmmm these b***os sound a lot like their people! 🙈😂

We’re really excited about both of these boys! They are very quiet and level headed. We are so grateful for the opportunity to give these guys a start and help them find their forever families 🥰

We just couldn’t miss out on the fun this year at the Mustang Mania TIP Challenge 💙 Say hello to our handsome boys! We get to meet these fellas this Saturday, March 4th and we have 4 whole months with them before bringing them back to compete June 30th - July 1st in Nampa, ID.

Both b***os will be available at the conclusion of the event in early July. Similar to previous years, we will post updates on this page of their progress 🤠 Thank you for following along with us!

We want to wish all of you a happy Holiday season and hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄❤️ Thank you to each and every one of you for your support this year, it’s truly meant the world to us.

2023 is just around the corner and it’s certainly given us a lot to reflect on the past year. We trained and facilitated adoptions for 4 BLM b***os and 3 BLM mustangs, along with gentling and training some pretty special long-earred equines for clients. We also added another AQHA mare to our future broodmare lineup and have some exciting breeding plans for 2023🤞🏻 with a surprise twist! Stay tuned for details and additional announcements in the works….. 🤗

Thank you again for following along with us and we wish you all a very Happy New Year! 🥳

Can you believe the before and after pictures of this yearling donkey? "Beth" was a wild BLM b***o that I picked up for a training challenge. As soon as she was home, I began feeding her Excel Pro Elite. This product gave her a fighting chance and truly made her shine from the inside out.

Since feeding my personal (and competition) horses and donkeys Excel products for the past 2 1/2 years, I'm super proud to announce that I have become a dealer and will soon have products for horses, dogs, wound care, hoof care and even livestock on hand! More information on these products coming soon.
