     Grand Sire:  Dewey Meadows Valentino, 32.75" Dark Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Dam:  Cisco & Sons' Ittabit, 33" Dark Gray-Dun

Here is a super little miniature donkey jack foal with the prettiest head. He is gray and white spotted, with one black spot at the bottom of his neck, like a collar button. So we are calling him Black Button Tucker. Tucker has full mascara on both eyes, and also full eye rings along with the white face. He has a winning personality to go along with a short coupled body, round butt, wide chest, straight legs, and great teeth. We couldn't be happier with this little spotted donkey!

Dark Red Jennet

Sire:  MFG Nitro 490, 30" Dark Red

      Grand Dam:  MGF Venus Ursula 30, 31" Black/Brown

     Grand Sire:  LCR Valintino 75 (Red Baron), 34" Dark Red
     Grand Dam:  Merry-Go-Round's Grace, 32" Gray-Dun

She's so red, with such soft hair, the name just suits her well! Her mother, Sachet, has had some really lovely foals. Satin Doll is half sister to The Elms Sedona Red (2005 Great American Miniature Donkey Sale), and to Merry Go Round's Pebbles (in our breeding herd). She is also half brother to Redstone, the donkey that posed for the Great American Miniature Donkey Sale logo. She is shaping up well to be a small, stocky dark red jennet.

Kiri is a stocky little sweetheart of a jennet. Her mother is a smooth bodied, straight and elegant jennet. Looks like the cross with Sundance worked well! Take a look at this nice little foal, she's a good 'un.

Here's a gem of a jennet, with striking dark brown color. She is from Mojave's first foal crop, and we can see that he gives his pretty head to his foals. She moves with style and has a great profile. Lots to like with this super nice foal!

     Grand Sire:  CP's Shortcake, 31.25" Gray-Dun
     Grand Dam:  Hume's Exotic Snickerdoodle, 34.5" Gray-Dun

We named her People Magnet because we are very attracted to her, and she is very attracted to us! Maggie is what we call her, and a sweet little jennet she is. Took me over a month to get pictures of her because she would see me and head right over to greet me, often at the gallop. She has good manners and is quite happy to stand next to me all afternoon. Along with her personality, she has a great stocky build, four finger wide chest, good bone, good movement and balance. Her sire, Sundance Kid, is a show winning jack, with his stocky, straight build. Her dam, Dinky Doodle, is a classic built, and classy, steel gray jennet that catches everyone's eye that visits our farm. Great stuff behind her which has blended well in this jennet.

     Grand Dam:  J&L Mini Stables Sophia, 35" Black

Flashfire is a stunning jack. Every time I point my camera at him, he just looks fantastic. His sire, Fiftyfire, has sired a National Champion, and who knows how many Champions have come from his grandsire, Red Lightening! He has an upright, alert way of carrying himself, which comes from Fiftyfire. He has straight legs, a smooth body and a rounded hip, lots of style. You can't miss him in a crowd of donkeys with these looks! There is a reason why certain donkeys keep showing up in pedigrees, because of what they bring to the breeding. Look no further, this may be your future show and breeding jack!

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

Here's a lovely red jennet with a huge star!. It is almost rectangular, almost a blaze, but I have never seen a blaze on a miniature donkey before. She and her mother are both dark red. You would never know that Star is her mother's first foal, as she is being brought up very properly by Bubbles. They are always side by side. It is easy to see that Star is going to grow up as pretty as her mother, with a wide chest, pretty head, straight and smooth body, great legs. Sorry, Blazing Star is not for sale at this time.

Announcing The Elms Travis, a stocky little gray and white spotted jack. He has a nice chest and legs, and is filling out fast with all his mother's rich milk. These pictures are of his first excursion outdoors. First he was tentative, walking on these new surfaces, and stayed right next to his mother. When he felt more confident, then he began to run all over. That photo shoot was over! More pictures will come soon, when he has slowed down enough to pose for the camera. Travis is for sale, and can go home with you at weaning around Labor Day.
