Dark Brown Jack
DOB 4/14/10
Birth Height: 17¼"
Height on 4/8/11: 27"

Sire: Quarter Moon Code Red, 32" Dark Red
Grand Sire: Circle C Red Tape, 33" Dark Red
Grand Dam: Sunset Acres Bette Midler, 32¼" Dark Red

Dam: KKR Ebony Rose , Black
Grand Sire: Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates, 32" Black no visable cross
Grand Dam: SS Candy, 33" Dark Brown/White Spot

Brodie is a very small and well put together jack.. If I was looking for a jack I would be considering this little guy. I REALLY like him! He is super stocky for his size, wonderful bone, nice topline, and good porportion in his body. Brody has those rear legs I love so much, a great chest with lots of width, and what a beautiful head! He has a sweet nature and loves people. And OH what a show off! He will just stand and pose for you. Brodie would make a great show donkey, or would be an excellent choice for someone looking for a super small jack with excellent conformation. He has lots of color in his background. He has show champions and/or producer of show champions on both sides of his pedigree. UTD on vaccinations, worming and farrier. Brody is now being offered for sale for a very reasonable price.

"Harley"

(Click photos to enlarge)

Dark Spotted Gelding
DOB: 4/03/10
Height on 4/08/11: 31¼"

Harley is a character. He just loves people, and would excel in performance classes if someone was looking for a donkey to train. He loves to stay busy, and is super smart. He is halter broke and leads well, and is not afraid of anything. Harley is registered as a dark spot, but he is as close to a black and white as you can get. He has a beautiful body with a nice full rear end, straight topline, and lots of bone. And what a set of ears he has. UTD on vaccinations, worming and farrier.

Congratulations to
Susan Beard
Cas Grande, Arizona!

"Siggy"

(Click photo to enlarge)

30½" Very Dark Brown Gelding
DOB: 8/23/07
Birth Height: 18½"

Siggy is a really sweet boy and loves people. He's easy to get along with, has lots of bone, the straightest set of back legs you could ask for and a beautiful head. When he is put up out of the sun he is almost black. Siggy is trained for halter, showmanship and trail and has done really well. It's been a year since he was shown, but it wouldn't take anything to refresh his memory. He is really easy to handle, and has lots of training on him. Siggy clips, loads, and stands tied forever. I'm not sure he would do well as a cart gelding because he is so small, but if you're looking for a show gelding to do halter and in-hand performance classes, Siggy would be great! He'd also make a great pet for someone. UTD on vaccinations, worming and farrier.

Congratulations to
Susan Beard

Red/Brown Jennet
DOB: 9/11/08
Birth Height: 19½"

Sire: Quarter Moon Top Dollar, 30½" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire: Quarter Moon Fistful of Dollars, 32" Dark Brown

Dam: LN Miss Caldee, Brown
      Grand Sire: Coffman's Danny De Valintino, 31½ Brown
      Grand Dam: LN Calley, 32" Dark Brown
Sahara Sands is a beauty. She is small and is sure to stay that way since both her sire and dam are small. She is a daughter of our 2007 NMDA Champion Jack and NMDA Best of Breed Jack, QM Top Dollar, who has one of the best temperaments of any jack you'll ever see. Basically this is a brown jennet foal but she has bright red highlights that make her a standout. Her half sister on her dam's side is our two year old North Gate Sienna who won 2007 NMDA Junior Reserve Champion Jennet and will be in the show ring again next season.
