"In 100 years from now, it will not matter the sort of house I lived in,
what my bank account was, or the car I drove....
but the world may be different,
because I was important in the life of the animals and the creatures on this earth"

Please note, none of our fabulous foals have ever been shown our policy is not to show foals believing it stressful on mothers and babies not to mention the risk of infection and added stress on young joints all for the sake of an easy Ribbon!
Foals are seldom shown in this Country usually only one or two at best. In America they have to be 6 months old before they are even allowed to be shown!

One of our Foaling Boxes
Here at Arranbrook we have selected only Donkeys with Fabulous Conformation, making sure they are free from hereditary faults and their sire's and Dam's all have impeccable Temperaments. I also insist on small neat heads and correct eye placement, coarse heads and piggy eyes ruin the whole picture for me as a producer of show quality stock.

2011 Foaling Schedule
# Please note as we really care what happens to our foals, we are giving serious thought about breeding for 2012 due to the present economic climate.
It is a sorry fact that Miniature Donkeys are being relinquished into The Donkey Sanctuary.
I personally helped "persuade" an owner of 4 Donkeys to relinquish them to The Sanctuary in Devon a couple of years ago. One Mare now has a prosthetic front hoof but all 4 are now well cared for and will not be bred from.
# Therefore the foals to be listed as arrived during 2011 maybe the last for a while or at least 2012 will be limited to possibly two.
This also means my lovely Mare's will be rested and we do what's best for our Girls here at Arranbrook Stud.

Re veterinary inspections Many people have their Donkeys inspected by their own veterinary surgeon?? Any serious inspection needs to be carried out by an INDEPENDENT Vet! I would not dream of buying a horse vetted by the vendors vet, in fact its just not ethical! My intention is to have ALL my Donkeys DONKEY BREED SOCIETY VETERINARY INSPECTED which at this time is really only a yearly event & can only be done as and when my Donkeys when are fully mature at 4 years of age. This is a VERY rigorous, thorough independent Inspection carried out by the same vet for many years at our Supreme show.
ARRANBROOK CRAFTSMAN ALL my Donkeys offered for sale are open to any independent veterinary inspection.

One of our Quality foals
A Truly Exceptional European Herd!
Arranbrook Bobby Dazzler Reserve DBS Inhand show Champion only time shown, exported to France as Herd sire 2010 We Breed for Drafty Correct Conformation Beautiful chiselled heads with a Fabulous eye and same Wonderful Temperaments as their parents and Grandparents! Each of OUR Select foals receives plenty of individual attention and training. I do not halter train very young babies as I feel it unnecessary and somewhat cruel to lead a foal away from its Dam. Neither do we show foals for the very same reason most Donkey breeders also refuse to put the foals and their Dams through the stress.
Training is handling several times daily, picking up feet and loving the foals with a head collar fitted a few times until weaning time. I am lucky in that I am able to spend a great deal of time educating my foals in fact nearly all day every day is usually spent with the Donkeys! This means that my foals are super friendly, well handled and lead trained before they leave me. Each will be wormed, vaccinated, fully registered, met with my farrier, micro chipped and have a passport as required by law.
I do not take foal deposits on unborn foals, preferring to match your requirements to the best of my ability. We offer every help and assistance to new owners, your success is our success! It is our intention to ensure 100% client satisfaction.
We answer all enquiries with honesty and integrity and that is why we will never sell a Donkey unless we are certain it is right for the client.
We are happy to supply current photographs or DVD's of any of our Donkeys but prefer visitors to come and see our stock. To make an appointment to visit phone 01765 603149

Arranbrook Stud practices a sound breeding philosophy. With the limited bloodlines available within the UK we take great pride in the variety of our herd’s pedigrees. I have carefully researched the pedigree’s of our stock to assure of no line breeding. While linebreeding is a common practice in equines and canines we feel that line breeding is not required to improve the Miniature Donkey. Very few American breeders linebreed, those that do have extensive experience as breeders.
Mankind will never move forward unless he asks the question " What can I GIVE to this world, rather than what can I TAKE" Anon. I would like to adapt that to "what can we GIVE to the breed, rather than what can we TAKE" ?
Our Donkeys are all fully registered with some or all of the following Donkey Breed Society The American Donkey and Mule Society ACOSA MMDA
