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.

    Grand Sire: 758's Ratus, 33.25" Dark Red
    Grand Dam: Perfection's X'Treme Hot Dish, 33.75" Dark Red

Cherry-ette is a stocky jenny, very representative of the excellent build of the foundation red jacks. She goes back to Winchester, Rose Bud, Red Lightening, Buster, and The Fireman. Smooth, well muscled, drafty build, good balance, and feminine as well. She is one of those quiet jennets you tuck in your herd, breed them right, and get some quality foals.

    Grand Sire: LCR Valintino 75 (aka Red Baron), 34" Dark Red
    Grand Dam: Merry-Go-Rounds May, 32.25" Gray-Dun

One of the last born of our Fiftyfire daughters, and out of a stocky Red Baron daughter, Ellie May. Pink Phlox has Fiftyfire's go anywhere attitude, with his pretty head.

32" Red Roan Jennet
MDR#53566 ~ DOB 09/05/07

Sire: The Elms Rembrant, 31 7/8" Black w/Cross
    Grand Sire: MGF Black Knight, 31.5" Black
      Grand Dam: LPE Cocoa, 32" Dark Brown

Dam: MGF Apple Blossom, 32.25" White
    Grand Sire: MGF Little Pink Harry, 30.5" Gray & White Spotted
    Grand Dam: MGF Venus Apple Annie, 33" Brown

We expected all kinds of color possibilities when we bred Rembrandt (black) to Apple Blossom (fully frosted spotted white with an unknown base color), but were utterly surprised with this lovely red jennet foal. From day one I wanted to keep her in our herd. Rose Blossom has grown up to have a stocky build, nice chest, great back line and legs, with the wonderful temperament both her sire and dam have. The pictures show Rose Blossom in her two coats, one shows her in spring shaggy coat. She is not a wooly as she does shed out fully in the summer, as in the second picture. She is a wooly (long haired) carrier. We have chosen to breed Rose Blossom for red, not wooly, as we do not at this time have a red wooly jack she can be bred to.

    Grand Sire: The Fireman, 32.5" Dark Red

Very lovely jennet sired by Prime Time, with Fireman for the grandsire. Smooth bodied, well balanced, rich red color in a small size and proper build. We bred her to The Elms Red Fusion for her first foal, and she had a dark red jennet with lots of the "look at me" appeal, The Elms Red Fuchsia (May 2011). We are pleased to have Sands of Time in our breeding program.

    Grand Dam: MGF Venus Blue Star, 34" Dark Brown

We kept this lovely miniature donkey jennet tucked away, Rembrandt's first foal, and a wonderful example of what he would do as a herd sire. Fabulous! Lady is small, compact, true black, with a smooth body, nice back line, pretty head, and straight legs. With that wonderful temperament Rembrandt gives to his foals. Lady is shown here with her first foal, a spotted jack, The Elms Mirage. We look forward to lots of colorful foals from Lady in future years.

    Grand Sire: CP's Shortcake, 31.25" Gray-Dun

Classy Jennet! Maggie is one of my favorites, a super well built miniature donkey jennet with a great personality, willing, gentle and not pushy. We only owned her show winning sire, Sundance, for a few short months, but he left us some super jennet foals the next year. This picture shows Maggie pregnant with her first foal, and we expect to see some really nice foals from her.

Dam: Feather Ridge's Bubbles, 33.25" Dark Red
    Grand Sire: My World Parker, 31.5" Dark Red
    Grand Dam: Feather Ridge's Saffron, 33 5/8" Dark Red

Blazing Star is a splendid dark red jennet. She entranced us with her enormous star, almost a blaze, at birth. This mini jennet goes back to the richest of the red bloodlines, Fiftyfire, Fireman, and Red Baron. Top that with impeccable conformation, good bone, wide chest, pretty head, and a wonderful gentle temperament, she is a jennet to delight in. She had her first foal in 2011, the same day that her dam, Bubbles also foaled. It is fun to see the three generations at one time, mother and daughter, and both with foals.

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.

Grand Dam: MGF Venus Bellana 49, 34" Red Roan

Melody is a go with you anywhere donkey, but I would be able to pick her out in the field if she wasn't always by my side. She is so beautiful, a rich dark red, just as pretty as can be. Her first foal, The Elms Rhapsody in Red, sired by Santana, is as dark red as her mother with the same outgoing personality. Melody has been bred back to Santana for 2009.
