While we cannot claim any "magical powers"  when planning our breeding program, we have done our research thoroughly over the years to make absolutely sure that the foals will possess the wonderful TRUE Miniature Donkey Temperament through their Sire's & Dam's. 

Note:  None of our Sire's, past or present have ever  bitten anyone.

 Here at Arranbrook  we select only Donkeys with Fabulous Conformation,  making sure they are free from hereditary faults .

*Please note that  as responsible breeders we never show our foals due to the stress, strain on their joints and risk of infections*

WE PROUDLY PRESENT OUR BEAUTIFUL 2010 FOALS SO FAR

 *SERIOUS BREEDING = ASTONISHING RESULTS*

 

We are pleased to announce the arrival of another jack foal, this time an Arranbrook Bobby Dazzler foal, the first jack by Bobby.  

   We are delighted with the Quality of our foals, the jacks we have at present are all Quality boys and obviously I cannot keep all of them.        So some will be offered for sale.   

   

The last jack I bred and recommended for showing is now a DBS Champion!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our breeding program is proving itself time and again, with one of our very first foals a DBS Champion at just under two years old.

 We are confident more will follow as we have Homebred Quality youngstock waiting their turn in the show ring.

 Take a look at our foals and compare them to foals on other breeders web sites, better still pay us a visit!

Bobby's second foal and another to be proud of!

This little chap amazed us with how strong he was at birth, then we saw the tremendous amount of bone.                                           With Straight, strong, wide set legs he will be an exciting new bloodline for someone when weaned or a strong show gelding candidate.

Re veterinary inspections

The Association requirement is that members Donkeys are to be inspected by ones own veterinary surgeon!

 This inspection CANNOT guarantee that the Donkeys are free from all heredity faults as ONLY the progeny produced could possibly confirm this!

 

While we will have our jacks inspected at three years of age my intention is to have ALL my show Donkeys, over time, DONKEY BREED SOCIETY VETERINARY INSPECTED which at this time is only a yearly event & can only be done as and when my Donkeys become old enough.   This is a VERY rigorous, thorough independent Inspection.

 ALL my Donkeys offered for sale are open to any independent veterinary inspection.

A Truly Exceptional European Herd!

 

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" ?

 

        

 

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. 

To make an appointment to visit phone 01765 603149

                                                               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.
