Holly's dam is a full sister to My
World Buster. Holly has been sold to a good friend of ours who works full-time and asked us to foal Holly out here at Half Ass Acres. Holly was hand-bred to PGF Peppercorn Jack from 6/4 thru 6/10/09. She started her bag around the first week of May. After she foals she and her foal will be offered for sale again as our friend is having financial difficulities. Photos of Holly above were taken on June 22nd, 2010, two days after foaling Gentleman Jack. Holly is up to date on all vaccinations including West Nile, hoof trims, and worming. She was given a booster of all vaccinations one month before her foal was born to give him extra immunity until he is old enough to be vaccinated. Holly has a negative coggins report dated 7/02/10.
Update!!
Holly foaled a dark mahogany brown jack on 6/20/10 @ 3:46pm. He measured 22 ½" tall and weighed 30 ½ lbs. Photos and videos taken on June 22nd, 2010, are below.

Boy is Brick ever tiny! Dark eyeliner all the way around both eyes. We love the character of the little boy, Brick, in the situation comedy 'The Middle' and we wanted to name a donkey after him. ***hanging my head and repeating in a whisper....... 'after him'*** It was a very difficult decision but you just can't keep them all. We are now offering Brick for sale to some lucky person. He is going to stay tiny and he is very correct in every way. Most of his spots are very dark brown but he does have a large black spot on his left side. We will gladly accept payments and we may even consider offering Brick along with his dam if you wanted to enjoy him now before he is weaned. Please email us or call (931-364-3715 or cell 615-504-4536) if you are interested in mom and foal together.

Yes, we were watching Summer in her stall. Yes, she had some signs of foaling. Yes, we were watching for all the pacing and rolling, but she did not do any of those normal foaling things. She plopped right down and started delivering her foal. Joe and I ran to the barn as fast as we could get there and she was already pushing and having that foal. It was one of the fastest and best deliveries we’ve ever had on our farm. It was PERFECT and so is he….Le Roux. Yes, that is his name and suits him to a tee.
There has been so much drama at our farm since Feb 9th, with two of our jennets getting ill and us loosing Strawberry and her red jennet foal. Strawberry was the only donkey we have ever owned that “sang opera”…her bray was very unique and she captured the hearts of everyone who visited and were lucky enough to hear her serenade us with her opera brays. She loved doing it and we all loved hearing it. I am just so sad that I never captured her beautiful voice on tape. She can now serenade the donkeys in heaven with all the other angels. I must mention that Strawberry’s best friend and half sister was Summer. These two girls were born only 2 days apart and have NEVER been separated…when sold they were always sold together as no one wanted to ever break up these two very special jennets. Their sire, The Fireman, is no longer producing foals.
I wanted to name a donkey that would honor Strawberry for all she gave to us and to others that were lucky enough to have met her. Thinking of names for this handsome new baby jack was my opportunity to name Strawberry’s legacy. The famous Opera, “Phantom of the Opera” was first a novel written by the French Novelist Gaston Le Roux. Many years later it became an Opera. The author’s last name Le Roux, in French, means red-haired. The minute I heard that I knew we would be naming this beautiful donkey Le Roux. He is a beauty and wears such a rich dark red coat, tons of personality and certainly has those herd sire qualities. He carries his pedigree well with bloodlines such as Windcrest Firefly,MGF Fiftyfire,The Fireman and several more. Le Roux has that stocky compact body with a show stopper head. He is small and very correct in every way as he weighed 23 lbs and was 21 inches tall. Le Roux is one of those few and far between jacks that are born with so many herd sire qualities but since his sire is Firefly and we have kept so many of his jennets to breed when they turn three that we will be offering Le Roux for sale. Some lucky farm that is searching for a handsome, dark red jack as a Jr. Herd Sire will love this all around spectacular jack. Who knows, maybe he’ll have an opera bray when he grows up!
Call to book an appointment to meet Le Roux…you will be more than impressed with his beauty in person. This little boy is going to stay tiny!
Photos above taken on May 23rd, 2010, at approx. 3 months of age. A big 'thank-you' to Jenny Eastep for helping us clip and photograph Le Roux. We could not have done such a good job without you!
Le Roux has a negative coggins report dated 7/02/10. He has an almost compltely full 4-generation pedigree with only two untraced spots.

It's a gorgeous spotted girl.. she has a short wide head just like my favorite donkey, Junebug. She has a perfect bite, stocky straight legs...wide chest. Dark eyeliner all the way around one eye except for one tiny spot of pink in one corner and a half and half dark eyeliner on the other eye. We are thrilled with this girl!! Rowdy and Tilly are a great match together!

It was 11 days ago that this, amazingly beautiful, little girl was born at Half Ass Acres. It seems it took forever for the weather to cooperate with us so we could get pictures and videos. Please take the time to watch the picture/videos as they capture everything we could ever tell you about her. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words”…so it is with Heart Strings.
One of our oldest jennets, Sheena, quickly approaching 20 years old certainly puts her “beauty marks” on her foals. Firefly seems to like the older women, too, and his pedigree carries through nicely in his foals.
We knew this elegant little girl was a knock-out the minute we laid eyes on her. She has a red/brown coat with precious bay pattern legs. The bay pattern leaves as they mature, but, for now, we are still admiring them as she dances and prances her way around the pastures.
We can truly say, “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” when we were able to see Heart standing up next to Sheena. Her head was held high looking right at us with determined eyes, and she was wearing that “look at me attitude”…..sturdy, straight legs, perfect bit, and ready to conquer the world. She appeared to even have a smile on her face..,..at that moment, “All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony, Zing! Went the strings of my heart.”
Don’t miss out on this one fine little jennet. Sheena will not be having many more foals so call and make an appointment to see Heart Strings in person. I know she will make you heart strings go Zing!
This jennet is a full sister to Drama Queen and The Cisco Kid!

Miss Moneypenny is a sweetheart and loves attention. She is a more refined and delicate little jenny. She is easy to catch and handle. She has a good bite and is guaranteed to be sound and healthy. She has been microchipped to comply with the new Miniature Donkey Registry rules. We just recently purchased Moneypenny when we bought back a pair of donkeys we had sold to a friend that decided she wanted to raise dogs instead of donkeys and we also took Miss Moneypenny in the deal because she felt she was too nice to just be kept for a pet. We are only reselling her because I promised my husband I would reduce our number of donkeys. Miss Moneypenny is up to date on vaccinations including Eastern/Western Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rhino, West Nile and Influenza. Her hooves were last trimmed on 6/05/10 and she was de-wormed 7/04/10. She has a negative coggins dated 2/8/10. Miss Moneypenny has an almost compltely full 4-generation pedigree with only 2 untraced spots. A big 'thank you' to Dena Wilson for assisting me in Moneypenny's photo session!

Hug
Your Donkey
When your
day seems out of balance and so many things go wrong, when people
fight around you and the day drags on so long, when parents act
like children, and in-laws drive you bonkey, go out in your pasture
and wrap your arms around your donkey.
His gentle breath enfolds you and he watches with those eyes. He may
not have a PhD, but he is oh, so wise! His head rests on your shoulder.
You embrace him oh so tight. He puts your world in balance, and makes
it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing. The tension is now eased. The garbage
has been lifted, and you're quiet and at peace. So when you need the
balance from circumstances in your day, the best therapy that you can
seek is out there eating hay!!

We apologize for any inconvienience this may have caused. We will no longer promise a donkey to any one without a deposit. Even without lost emails it is too confusing and too complicated for someone my age to remember who wants which donkey.
