Mini-donks (like miniature horses, the size of large dogs)
Standards (the most popular and this is what Chili is)
Mammoths (like full sized horses and these are typically the jacks that are bred to horse mares to make mules)

Chili is the size of a pony. Most of the wild burros that BLM rounds up are standard donkeys. They are the feral offspring of prospectors from the mining days and were selectively bred for their bonding and sensible qualities to be a companion to the miners. It would have been no good have have your a$$ with an attitude run off with all the gear that you own in the world... Chili has these bloodlines, like an instinct like border collies that is bred into him. He almost prefers people to an equine, he really wants to be with me, but is still fearful out of self-preservation.

My farrier in the video loves donkeys and mules. He said, "There's no reason that everyone shouldn't have a donkey!" Great companion like a dog, very hardy and easy to care for, cheap to feed, you can ride them/pack them/drive them with a cart.

I think that ferrier is a brave guy! Glad Chili is settling into his new home so well.

I love burro's! I would have one if I didn't live in the city. What a great video journal of his first few weeks with you.
Happy Trails!

He is lovely! I love those little brown donkeys. I always wanted a donkey as a child, but we didn't have the room or the time for it..... So the brown donkey female Petra, who lived at the cityfarm had a longtime admirer in me.

But I have a question: the donkeys I've met were small animalls, about the seize of a Deerhond or Irish Wolfhound. Is your donkey so big, or are you short?
