Just a few of our Select Jennets
All our jennets range from 30in - 34in max, with the majority being between 30 - 32in.
As with our Herd sire, all our jennets are fully Registered with one or more of the following,
The ADMS, The Donkey breed Society and The MMDA.
With Conformation & Temperament uppermost in our mind from the start in 2003, it quickly became apparent that we had
to purchase top Quality yearling jennets and simply be patient as they matured into the beautiful adults we require, which are simply impossible to purchase. After all, it is very rare for anyone to sell their very best jennets.
Therefore we have been and still are carefully selecting Top Quality jennets from the very best herds in America with show
Quality and breeding Quality being one and the same here at Arranbrook.
We think you will admire the results!
The bloodlines our jennets carry are
From America
Capstone, Country Music, Pope Farms Teaspoon,
Wolfheart Ranch, LN Sonfire, FLTumbleweed, WH Bugle Boy.
From Canada
Circle C Corona, Red Lightening, Little Motown
LCR Valentino 75th and The Perfections Ranch.
Arranbrook 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. We have carefully researched the pedigree’s of our stock to assure of no line breeding.
While line breeding is a common practice in equines and canines we feel that line breeding is not required to improve the Miniature Donkeys.
Very few American breeders line breed, those that do have extensive experience as breeders.
To distinguish animals with no line breeding in their pedigree on our website you will see the notation:
NLBP which stands for “No Line breeding in Pedigree”
See our foal page!
We proudly present our Outstandingly Beautiful Girls!

34in Grey Dun with sorrel highlights Foaled: 4/6/2003 Reg: Canadian Donkey and Mule Association Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association
Sire: LCR Valentino 75th. Sorrel
Dam: Perfection's Lady Macbeth. Grey
Early Frost is a Beautiful, very correct jennet with a neat small head, large eye, deep, wide chest and fantastic hip. Frosty is actually very hard to fault and her photos do not do her justice. Joyce ( Wolf heart Ranch ) and I spotted her in Frank
O'Sullivan's Herd whilst visiting with Frank in Ireland, summer 2007. Frosty foaled a beautiful jenny foal March 2008.
I would like to Thank Red Oak Stud in Ireland for the chance to purchase this Beautiful jennet.

33.5in Brown Foaled 14/2/2004 Reg: Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association. The Donkey Breed Society. Sire: WH Bugle Boy. Brown 31in.
Dam: Capstone Nellie. Brown 34. 4in. Katie is a sweet natured light brown jennet, with correct conformation and a great round hip. I saw her full sister and some of her offspring during my visits to Wolfheart Ranch in the USA I was very impressed with these Donkeys, indeed one of which, Wolfhearts Sugar Badger is now a Herd Sire in England! So Katie was purchased for me in 2005 by Joyce direct from the Capstone Ranch in Texas. Katie's first foal is due in April 2008 and will be by Country Music's Johnny Paycheck. I am very excited about this foal!

Country Music's Dixie Nolan

33in. Dark Brown. Foaled 17/5/2004. Reg: ADMS & Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association. Stud Book Registered. The Donkey Breed Society.
Sire: Country Music's Garth Brooks. 30in. Brown Sire: Country Music's George Jones. NMDA Champion jack Dam: Agapeland Leah. Dark Brown.
Dixie is a stunning jennet, with the most beautiful eye you will see on a Donkey. Her photos never do her justice. I bought her direct off the Famous Country Music's ranch in Texas along with my Herd Sire CM's Johnny Paycheck in 2004 when both were only a few weeks old. She has a nice rounded hip, beautiful head and is of course a very correct Donkey. Dixie Doughnut as she is affectionately known is the joker in the herd and if anyone can spot an open gate or golden opportunity to get into mischief, then it is always going to be Dixie!! Dixie's first foal is due in June 2008, by Echo Ridge Apache Red.

Sire: Circle C Copyright. 32 .4in. Brown. Sire: Circle C Red Lightening. Sorrel. Dam: Perfection's Angel Face. 30.3/4in. Grey Dun.
Annie will always be special to us being our very first Miniature Donkey. Did she do us well, during her first season in the show ring she gained Reserve Champion Jennet at the Royal Highland show, then DBS Champion Yearling at Braco Donkey show. During her second year she was also reserve Champion Miniature Donkey at Peterborough show. We are pleased to now have Annie's Dam, Perfection's Angel Face, join our Herd!
Annie will even shake "hands" on command for a mint!!! As a brood jennet she had her first foal, a jenny by Itsy Bitsy Tomcat, which was exported to Holland. She is now in foal for summer 2008 to Echo Ridge Apache Red.

Kay in foal !
Yearling photo. 34in. Sorrel. Foaled 4/3/2004.
Reg: ADMS & Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association. The Donkey Breed Society.
Sire: Circle C Corona. Sorrel. Sire: Circle C Red Lightening. Sorrel. Dam: Sunset Acres Firegirl. Grey Dun.
Our beautiful jennet, Kay, who's photos I need to update to show how gorgeous she is, has the look of her super Sire Corona.
Pictured She was imported from South Carolina in foal to FL Tumbleweed, Senior Herd Sire Wolfheart Ranch. Kay was originally purchased as a show jennet for Rock N Roll ranch in Tennessee and she did well as a young jennet. Sadly, only due to a bereavement was she sold on. She is one of the best sorrel jennets I have ever seen and is a welcome addition to my Herd! Kay has a small neat head and a super huge round hind quarter. Her first foal, Arranbrook Bobby Dazzler, is our Junior Herd sire. Kay is in foal to Country Music's Johnny Paycheck for a late summer 2008 foal.

Sire: M F Zacharia. 32.5 in. Dark Brown. Dam: Capstone Liza Jane. Dark Brown. Sire: W H Bugle Boy.
Lilly is an absolute sweetie. Due to a previously undetected, unusually thick, unbroken hymen has not conceived previously. We now hope she is successfully in foal to Johnny Paycheck. However, Lilly is a delight to have around, a first rate nanny to our weanlings and worth her weight in gold to us.

LN Black Label

Immature Height Black / Brown NLP'S Foaled 25 / 06 / 2006 Registered Miniature Mediterranean Donkey Association & American Donkey and Mule Society
Sire: LUA Maxx's Deja Vu Black 31in Dam: W FF Libby Dark Brown 32.5in
We purchased Black Label from the first Select sale of Miniature Donkeys ever held in the UK, in April 2008 held in Carlisle.
She is a No light Points Dark brown / black colour and has a small neat head with a nice chest and hip. I think she will make a seriously great brood jennet when mature. Her Sire Deja Vu was twice a Grand Champion ( all size Donkeys and ages ) and four times Reserve Grand Champion ( all sizes and ages ) as a two year old.
Black Label's Dam, Libby is by the well known Rhone's Little Brown Satchel, son of The Famous $10.000 McLendon 45 Magnum a 28.3/4in Black jack and a line I have been keen to introduce into my Herd. Satchel in turn is the Sire of the Top winning jack based at the Itsy Bitsy Ranch in Texas, Sunset Acres Smart Derby 2006 Grand Champion jack, Best of Breed, NMDA National Champion at the NMDA National show Shelbyville Tennessee and 2007 Grand Champion jack and Best of Breed at the NMDA show Shelbyville Tennessee, to name a few of his wins!
