The Elms Black Temptress was a high selling jennet at a select sale for a good reason. She has a great stocky build, what everyone looks for in a brood jennet. She is proving herself as a great producer of correct, stocky foals. Her first foal, a jennet called The Elms Sirena, is high quality, very square, short and stocky. We have kept Sirena for our breeding herd. Her second foal, also a jennet, The Elms Pearl Temptation, is a spot that looks like she was cut from the same mold.

Tequila is one of our wooly miniature donkey jennets. She has lots of long hair, which thins a bit in summer, but she never fully sheds it. In her winter coat, she also has dense curly hair on her neck, and especially on her face. She is very serene, no other word describes her temperament. Great build as well. We just love her, and are very happy to have her in our breeding herd.

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 had her first foal by Mojave, The Elms Kokette, in 2008. Koko will be bred to Geronimo in Spring 2009.

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.
