Large gelding donkey - $900 (Kendrick)
QR Code Link to This Post
He does really well with clicker training and he now can be haltered and groomed and have his feet done. Catchable in a large pasture, leads and backs up.
I have not ridden him yet, but he does great having a bareback pad on him. I also tried out a saddle with front and rear cinches and he was completely fine with it. Just introduced a snaffle bit.
He had all his shots last year and his teeth floated. He is due for annual vaccinations.
Regularly dewormed and was just trimmed by the farrier.
He struggled to stay in good condition last winter, but did reasonably well with a beet pulp mash. As soon as the pasture greened up, he was turned out and has come back nicely with no extra feed.
Reason for selling: I had intended for him to be for my husband to ride when we go out with our little group of saddle donkeys. But, he is obsessed with my husband’s mare horse and we can’t keep them together, which makes turn-out time complicated. He ignores our other mare horse and can be penned with her with no problem. He does fine with the other donkeys (geldings and jennies). I suspect he was proud-cut. He was confirmed to be a gelding by the vet (testosterone levels checked).
Good home a must. Has to be knowledgeable about donkeys and their unique dietary needs and behaviors (they’re not stubborn, just cautious!).
He shedding in some of the pictures so he looks a bit scraggly.
Open to trades- corral panels, cow, lumber, etc.
