It was a HUGE weekend at the farm for Brennan and I. We had been planning to get a companion for my horse, Pruitt, for ages since he's at my farm alone (preferably before we brought him here). Brennan and I went back and forth and back and forth on what kind of companion we wanted. I was set on getting a husband horse, but my husband wanted a donkey. Seeing that we already had one horse and aren't spending much time riding, Brennan thought a donkey would be a better suited for us right now. We looked for a donkey for what seemed like YEARS. Having been in the equestrian community, I thought donkeys were as easy to access as horses...Well I was WAY wrong. We looked on Craigslist and were only finding intact ones and I didn't want to deal with the aggression associated with that. Finding a donkey that wasn't completely feral and update to shots, etc was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find! We finally found a rescue in Westminster, MD that was perfect for us- Little Longears Miniature Donkey Rescue. We went up about 5-6 weeks ago and fell in love with all of them and decided on the two guys you'll see below. Between Brennan going out of town for work, two blizzard/ice Storms, and going out of town it seemed like these guys were NEVER going to get here!
