Miniature Donkeys at The Elms Farm
~ Our Brood Jennets ~

The miniature donkey brood jennets listed below are a sample of the quality female donkeys in the Elms Farm donkey breeding program. Our breeding female donkeys have been carefully selected for their conformation, pedigree, bloodline, temperament, color, genetic diversity, and compatibility with our herd sires. We travel throughout North America to personally inspect prospective jennets to ensure they meet our criteria before including them in our breeding program. Using this approach and carefully planning each herd sire - jennet mating, we believe we can produce top quality miniature donkeys and further improve the miniature donkey breed.

We have a few of those special long haired (woolly) jennets on our farm. Whisper is one of them, a gorgeous 50/50 spotted jennet. We really love her very stocky build, and gentle temperament. The long hair seems to be accented by her spot pattern, and is so beautiful on a breezy day. We first saw her at her birth ranch, with her sister. I took a picture of the two whispering secrets in each other's ear, and just had to have this pair of jennets. Whisper is never far from her sister/buddy, MGF Tell Me a Tale. Whisper has her first foal at her side, The Elms Persistent Whisper, a beautiful dark brown jennet foaled in 2008 sired by Black Knight.

We bred this jennet, and sold the mother bred with what we were sure would be a great foal. We were thrilled to have the chance to buy a Black Knight daughter almost breeding age, and when we saw Koko, we just loved her. Very nice stocky build, with good bone, overall nice carriage, she is as good as we thought she would turn out to be. Koko will join our breeding herd in Spring 2007.

Apple Blossom, a fitting name for this beautiful, stocky, frosted sorrel with fantastic long, woolly hair. Her mother is also stocky and wooly. All that white hair makes her stand out in the field! This serene, white jennet is genetically spotted, with the ability to produce any type of spotted pattern, or a solid colored foal. Imagine what she can produce with the long hair genetics mixed in there as well!

Arabella is a lovely spotted jennet with a bold 50/50 color pattern. She has a nice smooth body, rounded hip, and beautiful markings on her head. With her striking looks, visitors always ask if she is for sale. We love her build, looks and temperament, especially like the very nice foal she produces.

Harmony is a beautiful dark sorrel jennet, with a lot of roan hairs in her coat that highlight her rich red color. Harmony describes her well, everything works right with this jennet. She is well built, nice wide chest, style, great legs. We have watched her develop and fill out, and are excited to have her enter our brood jennet herd. She has an interesting off center white blaze on her face, which we expect will broaden into the white roan face you sometimes see in the sorrel donkeys. Her sire is practically black, her dam is a gorgeous dark red. Whatever color her foals, they will be gorgeous.

Sire:  Spotted Acres Maxx, Black, NLP (Smoky)
Dam:  LUA Miss Northern Star, Dark Brown

Status:  Bred to Black Knight for Spring 2007. Update: Foaled a black jennet with no light points on 3/29/07.

Caroline has, just like her name, a very sweet disposition. She is nicely conformed and is relatively small for a black donkey. In 2003, she had a lovely first foal, The Elms Black Lace, a very feminine little jennet dressed in black silky hair. Black Lace stayed here to enter our brood jennet herd in 2006. In 2004, Caroline had The Elms Black Satin, also a beautiful black jennet. Black Knight has been siring wonderful foals with good builds, attractive looks, and many in black, and this is a good cross with Caroline.

Status:  Bred to Frontier Legends Sundance Kid for Fall of 2007.

A queen from day one, Victoria is a classy, small jennet. Her sire is Black Magic, a nice small black jack. Victoria ribboned every time she has been shown.  Victoria had a tiny gray jennet in 2003, so small we named her The Elms Pixie Dust. She was tiny, with a presence you couldn't miss, and a wide chest not common in small donkeys. Victoria had another super, small, and stocky jennet in 2005, The Elms Princess Victoria, sired by Dr. Chaboom.
