ARRANBROOK MINIATURE DONKEYS

A truly Exceptional European Herd!

The Donkey legend

 Native to the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Sardinia.  The Miniature Donkey as defined by  the Donkey registry stands  up to 36 inches

 

      They are docile and easily trained to carry small children, pull carts and carry packs.  

      

 

            Average weight is around 250 to 450  pounds, life span is about 25 to 30 years.

 

Legend says that the dark stripe that forms a cross down the back and across the shoulder is a sign that these donkeys have been touched by the hand of God

 

     THE DONKEYS CROSS

     "Bring me the colt of a donkey" was the masters request

      A young donkey was brought to Jesus to carry him into Jerusalem

      A week later Jesus was ordered to be crucified

     The little donkey so loved the lord that he wanted to help him carry the cross

      But, alas he was pushed away

     The sad little donkey waited to say goodbye until nearly all had left

     As he turned to leave, the shadow of the cross fell across his back and shoulders

     And there it has remained, a tribute to the loyalty and the love of one of the   

     humblest of gods creatures
