Donkeys For Sale |
Ask about our Layaway
Plan
************************
If you are looking for something in particular or don't see exactly what you are looking for on this page, please contact us at hickoryhilldonkeyfarm@windstream.net or 936-396-6377, we may have donkeys available that aren't yet on our website!

We are committed to finding the best home for each and every donkey that we offer for sale. Our little donks have terrific conformation and their personalities can't be beat; they are affectionate, in good health, very social and "love to be loved."
Some
have asked if the donkeys that we are currently showing are for sale, and
the answer is 'yes' they are,
but ........ we only accept a deposit, not payment in
full until after show season! Reason being, it takes so much time to
select, condition and train donkeys for the show ring, and it's so hard to start
a new one in the middle of the season. With a deposit on a particular
donkey, all we ask you to do is sit back and enjoy the shows; we will continue
to show 'your' donkey at our expense until show season is over in the fall!
All of our donkeys are on proper schedules for vaccinations and worming, and our farrier visits the farm on a regular basis for hoof care.
Donkeys are herd animals; to avoid undue stress and loneliness and to help ensure a happy, healthy little donkey, it is strongly recommended that they not be kept singly but with another animal, preferably a miniature donkey, as a life-long friend.
Our goal is to make your ownership experience positive and pleasurable and to ensure that our donkeys are placed in an environment where they will be well cared for, protected, enjoyed and most of all treasured!

Outstanding! If you are looking for
quality small genetics, here's your future
herdsire ..............
he's small and very correct; he has it all in one compact
little package and reminds me so much of his
dad, Hickory Hills Zig N. Bock! When he was a baby, Zig N. Along had
some traits of being wooly,
although there are no wooly bloodlines in his pedigree that we
know of, his haircoat was longer/silkier
than most babies, and his mane laid over like a
horse! Would he produce wooly babies if bred to a wooly jenny?
Maybe/maybe not, but one thing for sure, those babies would be absolutely
delightful!
Zig
N. Along now lives out near Vegas with one of his best girlfriends, Misty!
This little chunk is going to make someone
an outstanding herdsire!
The only reason that we are offering Zig N. Along to another breeding home is because his sire is a major part of our breeding program, and we just don't have enough room to house another breeding jack with the same bloodlines!

BFF Package
Sadie & Coco Kiss
Sold and have moved to their new home together!
These two little jennys are like two peas in a pod .............
where you see one, you see the other!
They grew up in the nursery together and picked each other as their BFF!

  Coco Kiss
DOB: 07/16/12 Sire: GP
Oscar's Lonestar Luke O.K. I do
have to admit it when I say we had to take a double look when we saw Coco
Kiss running around with Mary Alice ....... this just proves that book
genetics doesn't always follow through in the pasture! Both sire/dam
are gray/white spotted, but little Coco is definitely a medium 'coco' brown,
and there's not one single spot to be seen! Coco Kiss is truly as
sweet as sugar, hence her name! Actually, her mom, Mary Alice,
belonged to my dear friend Marcie who lost her battle with melanoma cancer
just four months before Coco was born, so when she was born, I sent Marcie's
daughter a picture of the foal, and Cindy named her; I think Marcie would
approve because as I remember, Hershey Kisses were one of her favorites!

Here's four 'new'
geldings ................ they were gelded the end of March and have fully
recovered!
They are all social and friendly as we visit with them in their pasture daily;
geldings make excellent
family pets! Like all of our animals, these guys are up-to-date on
vaccinations, worming and hoof trims!
We don't sell single/only
child donkeys unless there is another equine (preferably another miniature
donkey)
at their new home. Donkeys are herd animals, and without a BFF, they get lonely
and aren't happy campers!
These little guys have all moved to their new homes!

Three BFFs; available to a new home together!
Sold to their new home
together, and we are delighted!
We would love to sell
these three little girls to the same new donkey home! They are always
together; side by side in the pasture! They were all babies in the nursery
out of three of my favorite
older jennys, and when it came time to wean them, we waited for the youngest one
to be six
months old, and then we weaned them together!
They are now wonderful
coming three-year-old jennys who are super friendly and very social.
Each of
the three carries a totally
different bloodline, so next fall when they are mature/old enough to breed,
each would contribute
to your breeding program individually, but until that time, what fun it would be
to just
sit back and watch them be teenage girls .............. together!
I'll post updated pictures as soon as they shed off their fuzzy winter hair!

*************************
We have decided to
'show
red' and now have several mature brood jennys (dark brown, gray and
spotted) that we won't be breeding now
because of several years of drought and the increased hay
prices here
in Texas. They would be fantastic additions to any herd looking
to add bloodlines and pedigrees to their existing stock or a perfect way for
someone who is just getting
into miniature donkeys to start.
They are all experienced mothers; let them teach you the ropes! We have been
putting our breeding program together for twelve years, and these jennys have all done a
super job of producing nice quality/healthy
babies for us. While mature, they still have many years of breeding ahead
of them. They are all in good health (up-to-date on vaccinations, worming
and hoof trims)! They are just too good to sit aside and
not used while we wait out
Mother Nature's punishment on Texas!

Available Mature
Geldings
These two boys are a
bit older, but they still like donkey hugs and butt scratches and running
and playing!
To ensure that they go to a home with a donkey best buddy, we offer a 'best

Mature Barren Jennys
We have four jennys that we have been unable to get settled; we've had them with several different jacks, and still, no babies. I don't give up easy, and I'm not giving up now, but our hay situation requires that we should place these girls in good donkey homes as pets! They are super friendly and social, plus up-to-date on vaccinations, worming and hoof trims; one of them is a National Halter Champion. Most of the time they live in the brood jenny pasture, but they have all four been exposed to a jack and could 'possibly' be bred, but we don't think so. In any case, if they do prove me wrong, and you need a breeding certificate, no problem! I will just kick myself because I gave up on them too quick! Our loss will definitely be your gain!
We are selling them at BFF (best friends forever) prices - or if you have enough room for all four together (they would love that, and we would too), we would offer them as a group!

DOB: 1998 Asai has had a couple of babies for us and was a good mother, but after her last foal, we haven’t been able to settle her again. She is friendly and
was a big help making Sassy (also listed with
this group) feel secure in our herd when she first arrived. I'm guessing because
Asai had raised
babies, she was able to

DOB: 1998 Imogene is a one-of-a-kind donkey; she is absolutely gorgeous ............ and did a fantastic job for us in the show ring, but she just didn't like being away from home and her friends. She is happiest in the brood jenny pasture talking to the girls!
Imogene has also been a tremendous help in

Sassy is a wonderful jennet, but because she was mistreated by a previous owner, it does take her a bit to warm up and feel secure in a new environment. A
very good friend of ours rescued Sassy as a yearling jenny, and when Betty's
health began to decline, she worried and stressed about Sassy because no one
would want her as she wasn't as bubbly as the other donkeys, so I promised
if she ever got in a position that she could no longer take care of Sassy,
|
DOB: 2006 Color: brown Height: 33” Ivy is the youngest of the group; if you look closely at her forehead, you will see a few white hairs that I call her ‘beauty mark!’ We purchased her three years ago, and our jacks haven’t been able successful getting her to conceive. Ivy is very friendly and loves people, and I think she would do well as a therapy/teaching donkey or perhaps a nursing home ambassador!

As responsible breeders, we strongly promote, support and love geldings; they make outstanding show/performance animals and
absolutely Geldings
are easy keepers; they get along well in a pasture with jennys and other
geldings, and they make
the very best babysitters for young weanlings.
Please don't hesitate to fall in love |

Butt scratches are almost as good as donkey hugs!
