MEET THE BURROS

Dinky Dirtbike

Dinky Dirtbike was our first donkey on the farm. He is a miniature Mediterranean donkey and he loves nothing more than to be loved on and snuggled. He has the calmest, gentlest presence and is always happy to see you. His favorite snack is apple slices and he loves rolling in fresh shavings. Dinky is 20 years old!

Sourdough

Sourdough was the perfect addition to our farm family and he and Dinky are best buds. He is a "wooly" donkey so he has long hair that needs shaved in the hot summer months. He is ALWAYS getting dirty so he gets groomed and bathed often (which I think he loves as much as he loves getting dirty). He  is much more talkative than Dirtbike and is only about 16 years old. 

Truly and Quirk

Truly is our light tan donkey, the most classic donkey color, and her sister Quirk is a beautiful chocolate brown. The sisters came from another local property when their owners moved and were unable to take them, so we loaded up and went to get them! They have integrated themselves very well over the last few years and while they don't travel to weddings, they are a big hit at our brunches! Quirk is large, in charge, and nothing gets in her way, while Truly is a sweet, lovey Hershey's kiss who loves to be snuggled. 

Peaches

Peaches is one of our newer gals, she arrived to us in the spring of 2025 and is only a little over a year old! She has attended some events and loves to socialize during the brunches. She is a blonde bombshell but has to wear a UV fly mask on sunny days to protect her pretty blue eyes! She has grown up a lot since she got here and is learning the ropes of carrying the packs when she is old enough. 

BABY SALSA

Little baby Salsa has just arrived! She is just a little squeaker at 6 months old but she has already shown quite the aptitude to be an amazing girl. She loves attention, adores people, and is generally completely unbothered by new places and traveling. She still kicks up her little baby heels and is learning but she can't wait to get snuggles at all the brunches in 2026 and maybe attend an event or two!

Murphy

When we lost Lenny at the end of 2024, we were heartbroken, and no one more than C4. We decided he needed a friend, so when the ranch in Colorado that C4 had retired from asked if we wanted to retire Murph with us, we went and picked him up as soon as we could. He is in his early 20s and the boys seemed to remember each other from their time as dude ranch horses. Murph has been an excellent companion and horse for my husband to trail ride with me!  

Lenny - 1996-2024

Lenny was the inspiration for us to move out to our own piece of land. He was my college jumping horse. He loved ear rubs and chin scratches and adored children. He originally came from Germany as a young horse and was very talented in his youth. He was proficient in show jumping and dressage, spent time as a Colorado trail pony and even pulled a cart, but he loved retirement the most. We lost Lenny to lymphoma in the fall of 2024.  

C-4

C-4 is a long term resident of the farm as he not only belongs to my best friend, he is Lenny's best friend and the two are lost without each other.  C-4 was a bucking bronco in his younger years and then became a Colorado guide horse, spent some time in California as a beach pony, and came to Missouri for well deserved retirement. His age is estimated to be somewhere around late 20s early 30s but we don't know for sure! He is an absolute goofball and makes us laugh every day.
