2008 - At the Red Deer Westerner Days Mini Donkey Extravaganza II, on his first birthday, Fire Cracker won Grand Champion Jack in the Jackpot Show against all ages!!!  He also won Second Place in the Yearling Jack class and Second Place in Hunter Jumping Novice in the open show.  Fire Cracker is a tiny guy with a big personality.  At the Red Deer Show he was as calm as can be when kids and toddlers came up to pet him.  He was a joy to handle!  His full sister Cerise lives in England with Ann Pollack, and FC is now safely home at Asspen Grove. 

Thanks to Deb Walker of Stoney Acres Ranch for letting us bring him home, even tho Jodie told you to keep him!  :)

UPDATE!  July 2009 - FC wins Reserve Grand Champion Jack in the Miniature Donkey Extravaganza Open Show in Red Deer, Alberta.  FC also wins Third Place in the MDE Jackpot Show against all ages, and First Place in In Hand Trail and Second Place in Hunter Jumping.

 

FC has been paired with three of our best jennets for 2010 babies - Stoney Acres Mirabella, Sheloy's Heather and Sunset Acres Cayenne.  We can't wait to see those babies in May and June 2010!

Spring 2008 - Asspen Grove is thrilled to announce the arrival of one of our future herd sires!  

DOB:  Sept 19, 2007   Birth Height:  21.5"   Age 1: 29 5/8"   Age 2: 30.5"

In pedigree:  Valintino 49 (Winchester), Valintino 75 (Red Baron), My World Buster, Belle E Acres Jennie Sam

Sheridan is a stocky, small, and very correct jack with very straight legs "at all 4 corners"! He is also pink!  His full siblings have wonderfully calm and confident personalities and Sheridan is no exception. "Danny" is one of our favourite personalities and a hit with everyone who visits the farm! They all want to put him in their back seat and take him home!  Thanks to Jane Savage of Flight of Fancy Farms for letting us add Sheridan to our little herd (and for helping figure out how to get him here from New Hampshire!)  

Danny's Sire:     Danny's Dam: 

                              My World Winston, 31.5", light sorrel                        Sunset Acres Lady Slipper, 31", light red

                              (My World Vincent x My World Myra)                        (Hendrick's JJ x Bell E Acres Red Jubilee)

 

  

Welcome to Asspen Grove, Sheridan! 

UPDATE!  Summer 2009 - We are expecting Danny's first foals in the spring of 2010, by Mama Mia (for sale, bred, on our sale page) and Half Pint Hill Lia.  He has also been doing some outside breeding as his bloodlines are new to these parts.
