Jim and Rhonda Tippie of Lil
Graceland Miniature Donkeys got up early and drove almost 200 miles from
their farm in Whitewright, Texas to a donkey show in Belton, but the trip
back home didn't seem nearly as long because their little jack, Speedway,
was named Reserve Model Donkey! He will be a year old next month, and
this was his first show! Wow! Rhonda called us with the good news, and I didn't have to beg too long to get her to share one of the many pictures that she took! Actually, when I asked if she would send us a picture, she said "Sure, as soon as I find my camera!" You gotta love the excitement! Speedway's pedigree goes back to the My World bloodline on the sire's side (our sorrel herdsire, My World Red Alert) and the Cobra bloodline on the dam's side (Rhonda's gorgeous dark brown jenny, Cobra's Nina Bonita). Speedy got his rich brown color from his mom, and that trademark My World butt from his dad! It was definitely an outstanding cross! |

"Camp Momo" ........... the first week of July, and all three grandgirls were here! My heart doesn't want to admit it, but they are all growing up! Emily will be a high school senior in the fall; Katie will be a freshman, and Shelby will be in the second grade! Momo's three girls aren't babies anymore! They did a farm photo shoot, and here are some of their favorite pictures!

Cute, cute, cute!

The second week of July, we delivered two bred jennys to their new home in Oxford, Mississippi; what a great new donkey home these two will have! Susan is new to miniature donkeys and just beginning to put together a small herd. She is so excited, and her enthusiasm has rolled over to her family and friends! In fact, during the short time that we were there, four visitors stopped by to welcome them, and the town newspaper was just waiting for the the foals to be born in early fall so they can come out and do a story! Millie and Kasey are truly the "talk of the town!" |

Mid-June, Miss Kitty was
bitten on the face by something: the vet suspects a poisonous snake!
We gave her medication for more than a week, but in the end, all of
our efforts and thoughts and prayers, weren't enough; one morning, she
just laid down and didn't wake up! I think they needed a mouse
catcher in heaven, and Miss Kitty knew we loved the kitties and would
take care of them, so she applied for the job and got it! I knew
she would; she was an outstanding cat! We have been busy trying to keep up with the two boys; we named them Hissy and Pissy because when they were babies and living behind the bales of hay in the barn, I would go out to take pictures of them to send to Shelby, and when the flash on my camera would go off, they would hiss and spit at me! They are very playful now and hide in all sorts of spots that we never think to look in! Here's a picture of them snuggled down and taking a nap in a flower pot while we were looking for them about 45 minutes! |

Our farm is located in Leon County, just west of I-45N between Madisonville and Centerville. As donkey collectors, we have acquired seven outstanding breeding jacks, a herd of quality brood jennets, delightful yearlings, very sociable weanlings and a captivating nursery. We breed for conformation, disposition, size and color.
In August, 2002, our collection changed dramatically; actually, we doubled the size of our herd overnight. James and Geri Peterson sold Small Wonders Ranch and offered us the opportunity to purchase their fantastic little donkeys. Since that time, we have been very busy building barns and loving on donkeys, digging water lines and loving donkeys, hauling hay and yes, loving on donkeys! Life is great!
We begin
imprinting as soon as those little hooves hit the ground, and when they are a
few weeks old, our babies start "donkey" school ........... learning to walk, stop and
stand quietly while wearing their new halters. Of course the best part is
sharing donkey hugs at the end of each and every training session!
We are dedicated to
the production of quality miniature donkeys for breeding, showing or to
enjoy as a special family pet. When you are in our area of Texas, please stop by; visitors are
always welcome!
