We Breed for Drafty Correct Conformation Beautiful chiselled heads with a Fabulous eye and same Wonderful Temperaments as their parents!

It is seldom that we have a lot of foals born in one year, this year we will have 3 which is much less than many other establishments.

Therefore 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 even though winning foal awards are easy pickings as most 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 and welcome visitors to come and take a look around.

As responsible breeders it is our priority to ensure that all of our Donkeys go to loving, kind homes.

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.

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"
