Where I boarded for a long time the owners had a mini donkey, smart as a 
whip and cute!!  I trained him to pull a cart and he was great.  Drove him 
when we went Christmas caroling around the neibhorhood and he looked so cute 
in his Santa cap and the cart decorated in X-mas garlands.  Mini donkeys get 
my vote any time.

On the subject of little donkeys,  I bought my children a donkey this
summer.   This was probably the best 325 dollars I have ever spent.  He is
great with my 6 and 3 year old daughters, infinitely amusing in the
pasture,  he fetches like a dog, and comes running and hee-hawing when
called.  And the best feature is his watchdog abilities, no strange car
pulls in the driveway with out him announcing it to the world.  He might
annoy the neighbors but he also keeps their nasty junkyard dog out
of  "his" pasture with "his" mares.  They are great companion animals and
cute to look at, and the kids can ride him!!!  I have not had any tail
chewing or other unwanted behaviors,  but he and his horse friends are in a
pasture big enough that I only supplement with hay and grain in the wet and
cold weather.  I would highly recommend a donkey companion for any lonely
equine,  happy trails,  Lynn
