donkeys & mules

Due to the sensitive nature of rescue work some of our horses are not listed on our website.  Occasionally there are cases where photo ID will be requested in the beginning phases of adoption inquiries to ensure safe placement of our horses.
FRED
Breed:
Miniature Mule        Sex: Gelding        Foaled: 2002        Age: 19
Suitable for:  Companion for an experienced handler

Fred is quite the character and likes to play "catch me if you can!"  He is a founder risk so will need to have a dry lot.  Catching him for routine handling, farrier or vet care is a little challenging.  We have our little routine down so he is easier to catch and once on the lead line he stands well for the farrier.  Fred is a great pasture mate and will make a wonderful companion for any equine.  This cute little pony mule who is still learning to trust is patiently waiting for a special family to come along with experience, patience and the right set up.

GINGER
Breed: Draft Mule          Sex: Jenny         Foaled: ~2001         Age: 21          Height: 15.2hh
Suitable for: Companion
Adoption Fee: $350
​

Ginger came to us with very long hooves, x-rays were taken to determine how this affected the internal structure of her feet.  Thankfully she was lucky and only requires careful trimming over the next several months to correct her hooves.  She has strong opinions about getting her feet trimmed, we are working on this with her and she is improving.  At this time she does require sedation for the farrier.  This beautiful mule is so sweet with the other horses, mares and gelding, sometimes spends hours out in the pasture mutual grooming with her friends.  Ginger was an amazing pasture mate to two different blind horses, being very tolerant of their need to be close to her.  She loves human attention, snacks and grooming however on occasion she can be a little tricky to catch especially if she thinks a vet or farrier might be involved, we don't blame her.  She loaded into the trailer and traveled well.  She will need a strong, experienced handler for vet and farrier.  Being stuck in a stall stresses Ginger out, she will weave constantly and will be happiest in a home where she is out 24/7.

This cute little nugget has really wormed his way into all our hearts here at the farm. With his funny brays and gentle nature he will be a fun addition to any hobby farm. He is used to living with a Haflinger, miniature horse, donkey, goats and chickens so would fit into any farm situation. Toby will be gelded soon and once fully healed he will be ready for adoption!
