I had just finished my morning check of all our pregnant jennets. Sissy had cloudy milk. I quickly came inside to post her update and then started my computer work. Approximately 2 hours later our phone rang and one of the Mare Stare viewers told me we had a jennet in labor. Much to our surprise Sissy was down and pushing out her foal. We got to her and saw the foal was hip locked. It took a little working with her to assist getting her foal cleared from the birth canal. It scared us to death and taught us a great lesson…"never let our guard down when the milk color changes." We had thought she would not have her foal for another 24 plus hours since her milk was not white.

This beautiful dark brown jennet is an absolute joy to us. She has entertained us and all our farm visitors since her first day out of her stall. She is so elegant and full of herself with her high energy and very outgoing personality. We named her Geisha Girl as she has a defined beauty, entertains us with her dancing and prancing, and is very unique in so many ways. Her head is very upright, straight legs, perfect bit, and beautiful distinct color. Trying to get pictures of Geisha is nearly impossible as she comes running to all who enter her paddock. She greets everyone and surrounds them with so much attention that one is hardly aware there are other donkeys. Geisha Girl has personality plus which captures her beauty and the attention of all who come to our farm. I had to get Joe to help me take her pictures ……she kept getting right in my face. I could not back away fast enough before she was in my lap and I was laughing and playing with her rather than taking her pictures for everyone to see.

We should keep this beautiful girl to be our pasture entertainment and later one of our brood jennets.. Everyone who has visited our farm just loves to watch her perform. She does not have a shy bone in her body. Unfortunately we cannot keep every foal so we will be offering Geisha to some lucky new owner to enjoy.

Geisha Girl is about as friendly as they come. She is a very dark brown with banana ears that are so long they curve and sometimes touch together depending upon how she holds them. She has show quality conformation with a perfect bite and wide chest. A deposit will hold her until weaning after five months of age. Better reserve her now!
