We purchased Ramona at The Great American Miniature Donkey Sale in Ohio July 28th, 2007. We are so pleased with her! She is as sweet as she can be.

Belle is a very stocky little jennet. She is wide bodied, has good, straight legs and bone, and has the prettiest little dish face. She is really a dark blue gray but she was photographed in her sunburned winter coat. When it warms up we will body clip her and take new photographs for her three year old update. We have always admired Bell's sire, Flight of Fancy Cardinal RG, and her grand sire, My World Winston, so we were very pleased to add her to our herd. Blue Bell is now with our dark spotted herd sire, Napoleon, for her first foal that will be due around Belle's fourth birthday in 2010.

Sailor is stocky, correct, and so very, very tiny! Sailor is a full sister to Bedazzled and Ma Bell. Sailor is now at Kathy Loudamy's being trained and shown.

Update! Sailor is home from Kathy's after three months of intensive training. She is now a perfect little lady and will trot beside you on command, side pass, back, etc. Money well spent. Sailor was shown at two shows while she was away and she placed 5th and 4th in her two classes and was a perfect little lady. We are very proud of our little Sailor. Thank you, Kathy, for a job well done! Photos above were taken on October 14th, 2008. Didn't Kathy do a great job of getting Sailor into show condition! Sailor did not really 'get into' being a show donkey. She is too laid back. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get her ears and head up for her new photos. That's ok...she can live out her life here being nothing but a mom to her beautiful future babies! Sailor is bff with Flirt.

We are thrilled to add Junebug to our herd. She is built like our ideal donkey. She was Linda Trimnell's very favorite donkey and the very last one she sold when she dispersed her herd due to health reasons. We are flattered that she let Junebug and her best friend, Gidget, come to live at Half Ass Acres. Junebug has a forever home here at Half Ass Acres.

Junebug is the dam of the following two foals:

2) HHAA Black 'n' Blue 8/09/08, black jack.
In March 2003 Junebug had to have a 45 lb foal delivered by C-section that did not live. She was allowed to rest for several years and then we purchased her. Junebug has been bred to Itsy Bitsy Front and Center for an August '08, foal. She was pasture exposed to Beamer from August 7th to August 16th, 2007.

Update 11/19/07: Junie has been checked safe in foal by exterior ultrasound by The University of Tennessee Vet School! Update 4/24/08: We tested Junebug's urine (www.weefoal.com) and she is positively in foal! Junebug started her bag on June 18th, 2008. Update! Junebug delivered a tiny black boy 8/09/08 @ 4:31am! Praise the LORD!!!

We purchased Piper from the 2007 Heart of American Miniature Donkey Sale and we couldn't be more pleased with her. We had been looking high and low for the perfect gray no light point jennet forever. She was consigned by Tracy Billing at Rock'n NT Ranch in Buffalo, Missouri. She is stocky and tiny and has the most pleasing personality. We have measured her several times since we have owned her and she has measured exactly 29¾" every time. She was already bred to Short Assets Superstar, a 30" dark brown jack, for a September 26th, 2008 foal. Piper is a great granddaughter of the great DMF Mighty Moe.

We are very pleased to be able to add Windcrest Gidget to our herd. She belonged to Ed & Linda Trimnell and was one of Linda's two favorite donkeys that she sold the very last when she was dispersing her herd. Gidget is best friends with Junebug who we also have now. Gidget and Junebug have a forever home here at Half Ass Acres. Gidget had the very first Napoleon sired foal, a black no light points jennet named Voilà.

Before becoming a brood jennet, Gidget had a great yearling year as a show donkey. She won the following awards:

6/10/00 ~ Madison County Fair ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 3rd Place

6/25/00 ~ Clermont County Show ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

7/23/00 ~ By-Gone Days Show ~ Halter Yearlings ~ 2nd Place

A nice drafty black jennet that commands your attention. She is a great granddaughter of Rainbow's Blizzard. Co-Co is eager to please and loves to be right with you in the pasture.

Alanis, Bow's dam, stood Grand National Spotted Jennet the only year we showed her and later she produced a baby even better than she is....a sign of a great brood jennet! Bow was born on her mom's birthday...no wonder she is the spittin' image of her...but even better. She was expertly delivered by Julia and Rhonda Vaughn while they were house-sitting for us when we were away attending Wayne Lyon's Driving Seminar in Texas. A big 'Thank-You' to both Julia and Rhonda for delivering the best spotted jennet ever born on this farm! Also a thanks to Julia for naming her godchild!!

Bow is the dam of two foals:

1) HHAA Pony-Tailed Lass 9/24/07, dark spotted jennet.

Exciting News!! Moxie has been sent to Kathy Loudamy at K&K Ranch in Texas for conditioning, training, and showing! We have confidence in Kathy's ability to make Moxie a fine little show donkey! Update...Moxie is home from training and we were so pleased with the results that we sent another one of our babies home with Kathy. Our little Moxie is a perfect lady now..trained to trot practically in place beside you and well started in trail obstacles. We are just thrilled with her. We highly recommend Kathy Loudamy for training your next little champion!!

Photos above were taken on November 1st, 2008, straight out of the pasture for her three year old registration update. She measured 31" tall and we think she is finished growing!

Roxanne has a beautiful tiny head and a nice round rear all in a small package. Very hard to find in a spot. She is one of our few gray and white spotted jennets.

Roxanne was declared safe in foal with her first baby by an exterior ultrasound performed by the University of Tennessee Vet School on November 19th, 2007. Roxanne aborted the foal on January 27th, 2008, for an unknown reason. Necropsy performed on the fetus and placenta showed no abnormalites or virus. The foal was a beautiful spotted jennet that someone in Heaven apparently had their eye on. Roxanne was allowed to recover and has now been bred to PGF Peppercorn Jack for a May 4th, 2009, foal.

Update! Roxanne is now the dam of one foal:

1) Partly Cloudy, 5/223/09, frosted spotted jack. Roxanne foaled a tiny precious spotted jack on May 23rd, 2009, @ 1:52pm.

I have grouped together all the photos we have taken of the changes you will see when a jennet is close to foaling to help you learn what to watch for. We hope these photos help you know when to expect your foals. This information is repeated under the respective jennet's photos. We just wanted to group them together for easier viewing.
