Here is a couple of more pics of his coat changes. His coat really does make his butt look big :)

Three minis and a slightly larger than mini donkey live here.

Thank you. I love how is coat constantly changes color through the seasons. He is hilariously fluffy during the winter.:) As much as I like him getting his exercise this way, I worry more and more lately that he is going to misstep and hurt himself so I came to the same conclusion of Cayuse...

Thanks everyone. I hope you get your chance to get another donkey. Interesting critters. So much like horses but so different in some ways. I don't have much experience with donkeys so I really can't tell if mine is typical or a oddball. I hear so many different things about them. We certainly...

I agree with the others. Your mare should probably have a vet check to make sure nothing untoward is going on. Its odd that she would accept him but not totally unheard of. I would not let him continue. You don't want to risk the possibility of infection or other issues.

Thanks Madmax. I wish I knew. I have no information about him at all. No papers. I got him as a foal from an older woman who was rehoming her herd due to illness and she has since passed.

I discovered by accident that my stallion loves to jump. When my final goat died of old age, I moved him to her old stall which was larger and it gave him free access to his paddock and pastures. Instead of using the goat ramp, which was rather steep, he would just jump out the door and clear...

Some nice barn setups in here. Our mini barn is in the middle of some upgrades. New sliding doors all around, trimmed in metal to discourage the chewers. Since I leave the doors open during the day except in the worst of weather, I needed something that wouldn't beat around in the wind like...

That's just my routine and mine gain weight easily so I'm extra careful. I know some people that feed it all year round for coat problems and even as a general nutrition additive. If yours are at a healthy weight I couldn't see why not. None of mine are seniors yet.

Pretty horses Pony.Mom. Glad to hear you rescued them. I have two rescues myself. One was literally on the truck with the next stop being the zoo for lion meat. Perfectly healthy and well behaved. Just an unwanted mini donkey. The guy tasked with hauling him called me last minute. I said yes and...

Such a cutey!

He is adorable. Happy Birthday Dapper Dan.

I'm relatively new to the horse scene and have only had the one foal thus far but at 3.5 years I think her final color, a silver black with dapple, is here to stay. Her first year she was very light, almost the same color as her mom's  flaxen mane with no dapples. The next season her silver...

Great looking horses.

Luck enough to catch a full rainbow after a much needed thunderstorm the other day. I had to take two photos to get it all.

I only have one chicken remaining. The others passed gradually over the years. She is 8 years old and still lays eggs, although not every. She's ridiculously friendly. Just likes to hang out when we work around the farm. Sometimes she just sits with us on the deck. Here we are relaxing in the...

I think they both look pretty good. Not over or under weight. Both are definitely cuties.

My favorite photo I've ever taken

Like Ryan says he looks great for 22. I wouldn't worry about the grey. Horses are like people and dogs in this respect. Some go grey early. My dogs muzzle has started to grey at age 5. My last dogs muzzle greyed at about the same age, 5 or 6, and she lived to be 15 which is great for her breed...

LOL that photo caught him with his tongue hanging out. My stallion is a bit of a trouble maker. Lately he's been amusing himself trying to pull the door off its hinges and pulling on the gate. His other favorite pastime used to be knocking his water bucket over, flipping it over his head and...
