Asspen Grove Miniature Donkeys

We only have a few foals each year and we try to give our jennets a year off between foals to ensure  that they stay strong and healthy.  In 2010, we are expecting 5 foals (more than usual) and it will be a nail biter year for me, as two of the five are maiden jennets.  I'm sure I will be up all night more than a few times! :)

* Our 2008 Foals *

May 28 2008 - We have our first baby of the year, a lovely little grey girl.  Her parents are Half Pint Hill Lia and KKR Hanky Panky - she is Lia's second baby, and Hank's first baby girl!  By the time we first saw her, she was a couple of hours old, already eating and skipping about.

July 23, 2008 - Our second little girl arrives.  Mia's first baby was not quite properly positioned (though easily fixed and Sicily arrived quickly and safely), so we were close by for this one.  I did a quick check to make sure the baby was coming out "feet first", and 10 minutes later, she did!  As soon as she could walk a bit, she came over for snuggles, and at less than one day old now comes running to us.  Mia is going to have her hands full with this little girl!
