Add a Little Zest

My friend Dave is trying to reduce his herd.  His wife has been quite ill and needs a great deal of care.  He has gotten down to the two horses who drive, two older, retired donkeys and Pepper....

Dave is keeping the other 4, but Pepper would really prefer a younger crowd to hang out with.  The other young donkeys have all gone off to new adventures in wonderful homes.  The remainder of the herd are all in their 20's and have little appreciation for a young guy just looking for a bit of fun.  

We are hoping to find just the right home for this wonderful young donkey.  Pepper is a 7 year old gelding.  He stands about 38-40 inches tall, he is current on all vaccines and worming.  He is 100% sound and healthy.

Pepper is small of stature, but huge in personality, charm and heart.  He is both a playful devil and a cuddly, huggable friend.  Pepper would do best in a home with another young gelding who can share in his appreciation of a rousing wrestling match or a swift game of tag followed by some friendly mutual grooming and a good nap.

Pepper is very easy to work with, leads well and is good with the farrier (I should know since I trim his feet, he is a gentleman).  He is fine around traffic, tractors, golf carts, big donkeys, horses and other equipment.

Pepper is a very clever, attentive and engaged fellow with an adventurous spirit.  He loves attention and would always be up for trying something new.  He would love to accompany you on long walks, learn to do agility or pull a cart.

Have you ever wanted to give pack-burro racing a try?  Pepper might be small, but he is mighty and he would lead the pack across the finish.

If anyone is interested in adding a new friend, please get in touch.  You can reach me at aerissana@gmail.com

  2. He is a beautiful boy, and I hope he finds a great home. I guess they sold Ben's former partner, huh?

  6. Can't afford a playmate for Ramsey? He seems like a perfect herd member.

    1. My barn is full and I am not sure Ramsey would appreciate any more competition. He seems to be more interested in keeping me all to himself than in having another playmate:)
