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. 

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.
