BLM donkeys and my buckskin quarter horse enjoying some fresh pasture grass after a winter of stored hay.

Thank Hank,

He is 31 years old. Like me, he's retired now.

 In his younger years he was a good cutting horse. When I picked up the two BLM donkeys last fall he would cut them. It was amazing to see him do what he was trained to do. The donkeys were less than pleased being herded into a corner of the paddock area. Everyone gets along now. 👍

Good to see them out in the pasture enjoying some fresh greens. It was very kind and generous of you to give the BLM donkeys a nice place to live out their lives ( even if they did get herded for a while).

Thanks Brent.

I'm really enjoying working with them. They are not like horses. You have to change your whole approach taking care of them. The gray was from a wilderness area in northern Arizona. He spent a year in holding pens before I got him so he was use to seeing people, etc. The lanky brown one is a different story. He was rounded up down in southern Arizona in August 2021. Trailered to Montana a month later with a load of other burros. At that point he was health checked and vaccinated. In early Oct. he was castrated. I picked them up in late Oct and trailered them to my place in Idaho. With the brown one going thru capture, shots and castration in such a short amount of time, he was a very wild acting creature. I guess you could say he had some trust issues. I think if I went thru what he did I'd have some trust issues also. 😐

 

 

Meet Jethro.  Not your typical looking burro.
