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."
All 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.
To help you with your purchase, we offer a discount on multiple purchases and a convenient six-month layaway plan.
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!

Harv keeps telling me
that he is getting older, but gosh, he's only a month older than I am;
I wonder if he is also warning me that I'm getting older too! :)
We have been doing
some serious thinking about our breeding program and have made
some tough decisions regards where we are going and what we are going to do!
We have 'almost'
decided to sell most of our spots and concentrate on reds and blacks,
so we will be selling most of our mature spotted jennys (these are good old
girls and have made
gorgeous spotted babies for us, and it's really, really hard to even talk
about selling them), our mature spotted jack, Major Moneymaker, (oh gosh,
I'll have to go inside when he leaves; he is the foundation
of our spotted program) and some baby/mom packages!
Buyer beware
.................... they are all dear to my heart, and I will be looking
for the best possible new homes for them!
As always, we offer
discounts to repeat customers, show homes
and those that fall head over heels in love with more than one!
I'll try to get information/pedigrees/pictures together as soon as possible!
*************************
We have eleven new
babies, and I promised to get their information up as quickly as possible;
I'm slowly getting there; in the meantime, here's a sneak peek!

DOB: 08/30/03 If you are breeding for small and red, don't pass this little guy up; Stars and Stripes is nothing short of fantastic! He is a solid little jack, great laid-back disposition and a real gentleman in the breeding pasture. In addition to breeding our jennys, Stripes gets more outside jennys to breed than any of our herdsires; he definitely earns his 'keep!' He is a real 'eye catcher and has it all in one neat package! Stripes has done a good job for
us, and it's been a hard decision to offer him for sale, but we won't have
any jennys for him next year, He would be an asset to any breeding program, especially one that is breeding for those pretty red babies. He 'trademarks' his babies with good bone structure and wonderful wide/straight legs, and usually they have a star on their foreheads!

Looking for an outstanding spotted herdsire! Major is your man, and he is looking for a nice herd of jennys to romance! Major has been our primary spotted herdsire for seven years, and we have been extremely pleased with the babies he has produced for us! We breed him to both solid and spotted jennys, and he always gives us a nice quality baby with his great laid-back disposition, and the majority of the time, it's spotted! We sell most of his foals as weanlings, and those that we have kept have matured into nice jennys and are doing a good job for us in our brood jenny herd. We have decided to offer Major for sale as our breeding program now limits the number of jennys that we have for Major; we are going to breed predominately for reds and blacks. Major is just too good to not use, so we've made the difficult decision to offer him for sale. A good home is a must! If you are breeding for spots now or just starting out, you can't go wrong with Major! He is a gentleman in the pasture and treats his jennys with respect! Major would be an excellent asset to your breeding program!
"Major is our Daddy!"

Look who is growing up ..................

Oh my - take a look at this one; he is an outstanding little jack! Pilgrim's Pride (born Thanksgiving night) has all the attributes that you would want in a herdsire - outstanding conformation, deep rich black in color, plus he was born with a look-at-me attitude. Pilgrim should do well in the show ring, and when he matures, he should be an exceptional breeding jack. Update: Pilgrim helped his big brother, Mac - black/brown/white spotted, represent their mom in the Produce of Dam class at the 2010 Texas Shoot Out ............. and Hannibelle was named Grand Champion! We wean at six months and should have Pilgrim in the show ring this summer; should you be interested in reserving him while we show, a deposit will hold him in your name with all show expenses on us. If you would like to show him yourself, that would be fantastic, and we do offer a discount to a show home!

Ashlee
Wonderful little jenny out of a black sire and a deep red dam; you just can't go wrong with this one! In addition to her delightful disposition, Ashlee has great conformation .......... nice round hip and good straight, wide legs and even a small star on her forehead! She is definitely a show ring prospect, and with her outstanding pedigree and black/red bloodlines, she will be an asset to any breeding program when she matures! Ashlee was voted Miss Congeniality of the 2009 nursery; she never (and I mean never) meets a stranger! She's not the least bit pushy, but she meets you at the gate and gently manages to take her place right by your side! That's why most of my pictures have been of her nose!

Extremely nice sorrel
jenny; fantastic conformation and disposition; gets along well with all of

$2000
She is a beautiful dark brown with gorgeous eye rings and lots of chrome; a wonderful little jenny with an outstanding pedigree! * Angel is very much a 'mama's girl' and if you are in the market for an excellent brood jenny, we would sell both mom and foal together! $2500 as a mom/foal package!
|
Lady Di * Sale Pending * This little jenny is absolutely gorgeous; she is a dark, dark brown or black w/cross and has the most beautiful eye rings ever! Her conformation is wonderful, and she is a fantastic show prospect! Of course, if you just want something nice to love while she grows up and is ready to breed, Lady Di never meets a stranger; she is just as friendly as her mom was when she was a foal here at our farm!
|
$3000 We have high hopes for Sweet Caroline; her 1/2 sister was Raspberry Sparkle, one of the redheads that we showed last year. Ras was a Champion in the show ring, so Caroline has big shoes to fill!
* We are currently
showing Caroline; a $500 deposit will reserve her through this year's show
season Update: Caroline places first in Yearling Jennets at Halter - Texas Shoot Out, June 12, 2010!
|
Christmas Eve $3000
It's not the wrapping on the box, it's what's inside, and that's exactly
what we think about Eve! We have bred her mom and dad four times, and
each time they have produced a fantastic foal, but this time they added the
rich black color; she definitely stands out in a crowd! We
successfully showed her two older sisters, and this little gal will surely
be in the show ring when she is old enough to wean!

DOB: 11/03/09
Wow! If you are looking for a tiny spotted herdsire, don't overlook this little guy! He is our very first 'home grown' foal; both his sire and dam were born here at Hickory Hill. He is built like a little tank and has a fantastic disposition; he never meets a stranger and if you try to ignore him, you will get a nudge in the behind! He just won't let you ignore him!

big 2010 Texas Shoot Out in June, and she brought home a second place
ribbon; |

Here are three of our favorite spotted brood jennys, and because we have decided to focus on breeding for blacks and sorrels, we are making these three 'golden girls' available!
Good homes are a must; no exceptions! These three girls are not guard animals; they are wonderful little ladies and should be treated as such!
We've priced them affordably for someone who is just getting started in miniature donkeys or for someone who has a spotted breeding program and is looking for new bloodlines!
All three have wonderful, laid-back dispositions, are easy breeders and proven moms! Plus, they are micro-chipped to comply with new ADMS registration requirements!
We have them priced at $1250/each or $3500/group of three until the fall!

Little boys make for lots of fun!
These boys are weaned and ready to entertain a new family; they are full of play and
will keep you entertained 24/7!
We fully believe that an 'only child'
donkey is a lonely donkey, and to ensure
that each of our boys has a best buddy, we will sell them as a package of
two for $700!
 Home Run 'Homer' (jack) DOB: 09/04/09 Birth Height: 20" Sire: Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates Dam: Hollyoak's Blossom $500 This little guy was attacked by dogs when he was four days old. He has recovered completely, and still has his wonderful, laid-back disposition!

*************************
These five boys are a bit older and have already been gelded, but they still like to run and play! To ensure that they go to a home with a donkey best buddy, we also offer them as a package of two for $700!
|
Raisin' Cane * $500 *
DOB: 10/14/08
Raisin loves people, but he also loves to run and play with his peers in the pasture; he is the youngest one of the 2008 bunch, but is 'best buddies' with everyone! Anyone looking for a donkey to use in therapy work? You just can't beat this little guy!
|
Liberty * $500 * My daddy is spotted, and I was born on the Fourth of July!
DOB: 07/04/06 Liberty was born on the Fourth of July, and what better way to celebrate the holiday than with a brand new fuzzy donkey! Actually, we were away at a donkey show in Shelbyville, and when our donkey sitter called to tell us, she described him as having a good stocky built with a small patch of white hairs on his forehead and "full of himself!" She is right; he is all boy! Liberty has a laid-back disposition, but he's not the least bit shy; he gets along with the other geldings in his pasture and loves to run and play! Had he been born on any other day, we would have called him Arnold; he looks like a body-builder, short, stocky and big bones!
|
* $500 * My
two sisters won ribbons
DOB:
05/01/08
|
|
Top Gun * $500 * My daddy lives in Spain now!
DOB: 06/08/08
Gunner wasn't born here at Hickory Hill; we purchased his dad and mom when he was only two months old, and when he and mom joined our nursery pasture, he immediately became part of the crew, running and playing and taking time out for an occasional snack. He has a great attitude and disposition, enjoys every day and would make any family a delightful backyard pet!

Geldings

Champions in the Texas Show Ring)
These two 'old
men' are best buddies, and we would love to see them go to a new home
together!
We would offer them as a best buddy pair for $1000

Concho
DOB: 01/07/04 What can I say ............... this little guy gave us the thrill of a lifetime; at 14 months, he was named Grand Champion Gelding at the 2005 Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. We were thrilled; well truthfully, we were on top of the world! We had just started showing our donkeys, and it was a big class of geldings of all ages; the older gelding that placed Reserve Champion was at the front of the class lineup and Concho was last in line! We watched as the judge walked from one end to the other for what seemed like an eternity, he finally signed and turned in his scorecard! We waited anxiously as they called out the placings from sixth back to second; Concho and Harv were still "listening for their back number, and I was about to have a heart attack ............ then, the announcer called Concho's name as Grand Champion! The audience cheered, and I thought Harv was going to skip out of the ring! What a fun day! We showed him on the Texas show circuit for the rest of that year and several times in 2006; he won other Champion/Reserve Champion and firsts/seconds, but the Houston show will always be one of our best memories ever! Concho has a great disposition, is built like a tank and is the perfect size for cart training! He has worked hard for two years and always did a fantastic job for us in the show ring, and he has definitely earned his retirement. I think he really enjoyed staying home with his buddies this year!
* $750 *

Buckskin Joe
DOB:
06/28/04
This little gelding has been outstanding in the show ring for us! He didn't really get his opportunity to shine until late 2006 as both he and Concho are the same age, and we always had to make a choice to show one or the other! But when we retired Concho, Buckskin stepped up to the challenge! We couldn't be happier; he has been outstanding! Buckskin filled in where Concho left off; he has won numerous awards, most recently, he was named Grand Champion Gelding at the 2007 San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo! Buckskin has a wonderful, laid-back disposition, but when it's show time .........he is all business; he puts on his game face and stands perfectly for the judge. He is so willing to please, and he too should make an outstanding cart donkey!

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.
