We are delighted our breeding program has reached our goals so quickly, to be breeding Top Quality stock including Champion Herd Sire's as well as our own Homebred Herd Sire and our future Herd Sire's.  Future plans include keeping more of our homebred stock from our previous and new stallions.

However distinguished a Donkeys show record maybe, what matters most is his or her impact as a Producer!

*The proof of any successful stud is always in their progeny*

WE PRESENT THE ARRANBROOK STUD'S STALLIONS

Bettering the Breed by Breeding Top Quality Donkeys that adhere to The Breed Standard

and have sound, correct, Temperaments whether for Show, Breeding or Quality Pets.

NB:   All our jacks and their Sire's have the True, Correct Temperament indicative to this wonderful Breed.

Visitors are more than welcome to visit the stallions inside their paddocks & stables unless they are actually covering Mares they are running with at that time.

 We would never allow bad tempered stallions into our breeding program, not even one generation removed, as this serious fault, like any other, WILL surface in future Generations which apart from being dangerous  is damaging to the future generations of Donkeys.   They deserve better.

 We are proud to report none of our Boys or their Sire's have ever bitten us or anyone else. 

Here at Arranbrook Stud we have never owned or bred from stock with faults, such as bad mouths, fixation of the patella, weak legs etc. etc.

*Please remember:  Present Breeders You hold the FUTURE of The Breed in Your hands*

I have taken great care to select my Jack's as they are half the Herd but do need to compliment the Mares. 

With this in mind I have selected jacks for their Conformation and movement along with Temperament uppermost in my mind.  Short pretty heads and eye appeal are a must for me, with great heart room and correct well rounded hips with colour coming last on the list.

My boys are housed correctly, well away from each other as jacks will fight and antagonise each other given the chance.

 I also like them to have plenty of space to run, graze and play in, Jacks which are kept correctly should not put weight on, so keeping them in small areas is asking for trouble.  Should you visit an establishment which runs jacks close to each other I advise a sharp exit as this would confirm inexperience or plain stupidity!

From time to time mine run with their jennet's as this puts perfect manners on them, allowing them companionship.

Re veterinary inspections

One Association requirement is that members Donkeys are to be inspected by ones own veterinary surgeon?

 If you were purchasing a horse or pony would you really allow the vendors vet to do the inspection? 

Of course not as its completely unethical and not worth the paper its printed on.

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 usually only a yearly event & can only be done as and when my Donkeys become old enough. 

 This is a VERY rigorous, thorough independent veterinary Inspection.

Therefore I shall not be asking my own vet to inspect my own Donkeys!

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