A friend had come up to see the new donkey and we were standing there admiring her when she did a standing leap over my hastily built wall. I had heard that donkeys were good jumpers but really...a 3 1/2 foot tall donkey neatly jumping a five foot wall??? Time for some rapid rethinking of the donkey containment issue.
Emma wound up spending her first 3 days here locked in my round pen, which luckily, has 7 foot walls. Not even the super donkey could leap over these.
Fortunately, Emma has absolute respect for the electric fence. In fact, I have even had some success with a dummy wire in the barn. Much to Emma's dismay.
"Let me out!!!!"
"There just has to be a way through this..."
"Ohhhh, a consolation prize"
"Maybe I'll survive"
