Re: [RC] Tevis question - Sarah Simmons

I am glad you've got some nice jacks Sue.  Your jenny
(is "filly" the right word with a donkey?) sounds very
cute.  I am sure a lot of their temperment has to do
with how they are raised.  Like Pat Parelli says (I
don't know the EXACT quote) Donkeys and Mules are just
like horses but EVEN MORE SO! : )

Sarah

P.S.  There is a local man who runs a car wash in town
wo raises mules.  He refuses to keep jacks because of
how mean he says they are.  He has a lot of problems
with their feet.  I would think that because of hybrid
vigor, mule's feet would be stronger than both the
parents?

I think that they just get a bad name.  I have
several jacks in one pasture
and they tend to be very sweet loving creatures. 
Mine are all out of  adopt
a donkeys.  I know that people tend to abuse them
because they will not do
anything that they will hurt themselves doing.  This
would tend to make them
mean.

 I have a baby jenny donkey about 6 months old that
will pick a coffee can
and hand it to you for a treat.  Sue
