HC Minis - new pics pg 172

[chandab]

Just one, but different timing and camera for the pictures, so she looks different in each pic.

Just sooooooooooooooo huggable!!!!!

I can't wait to hug her. But, its thanksgiving week, so I'm sure Dot is visiting family for the holiday. Maybe next week if the timing works out for her as well.

I did originally think it was one but when i read your post it said 'they' and i thought you meant two. But now that i re-read it i see i definitely read it wrong lol Well anyway she is just adorable

I was trying to be vague and failed miserably at it, once I put that first pic up there was no hiding what was coming home.

Gosh, I'm behind, and since I've already revealed so much, and don't wish to go back, guess I'll give more details.

She's a weanling jenny, born July 4, 2012. Comes from small stock, jack is 28.5" and I think her momma is 31.5"; so she'll likely be smaller than most of the mini horses (I only have 3 that are under 34", the other 9 are 35-38" tall). Her name is "Squires Montana Chantilly Lace", yep you guessed it, call name "Tilly". I hope she can come home next week, hopefully all parties involved will be available next week, so I can get this done before winter really sets in.

OMG she is gorgeous!! (much more fun than that plane journey!!)

I can well understand why you cant wait to get her home. Have you always wanted a donkey or have you had them in the past? Will your girls let her join them so she can play with the foals - just remembered that you were saying you were getting ready to wean, so will she join the weanlings? What are your plans for her?

So many questions LOL!! But if you will spring this beautiful suprise on us, then we need to know all the whys and wherefors!!

I think I started falling in the love with the donkeys when I first visited my friend that raises mini horses and donks, but always figured one kind of equine was plenty. Then, hubby started saying no to more mini horses, I only have 12 adults, so a long way from what some have.

Hubby has only been with me a couple times when I stopped in to visit my friend and he's always been more interested in the mini donks than mini horses; so I hoped he might say yes to a donk, well, he didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either (I think he finally said "whatever").

I'm not exactly sure where she'll go when she gets here. All my weanlings are boys, so she could only be with them for a short time. two of my girls come from the same place as the jenny, so they at least know what mini donks are, so I may end up putting her in with those two mares. We'll just have to wait and see what happens when she gets here. [Actually, 4 of my girls come from the same place, but two are in a paddock together and the other two are in the main mare paddock with the other mares.] Might have to go with size considerations too, most of my mares are over 34", this little girl is tiny, so might be best off going with the last mare I purchased as she is only 32.5" (and one of those mares that has been around the donks before, although not in the same pasture).

She's going to be just for fun for me.

Tilly is an excellent paddock name

She's just so adorable! I want to give her a big squeezy hug! Lucky you!

 

[chandab]

She just looked like a Tilly to me, hope the name fits when I bring her home and get to know her. Tilly seems like a perfect donkey name to me.

 

[Wings]

Perfect any name for a little girl! .....not that I'm biased

We're working on making it happen this week, just a few details to work out. I hope I can get my trailer out and all the tires have air, we'll check on that soon.

 

[AnnaC]

Good luck - fingers crossed!! It's very exciting.

She is adorable!!! Cant wait for more photos of her when you have her home

We're getting closer to D. Day.

 

[AnnaC]

Roll on D Day!!

 

[chandab]

New pics tomorrow.... Tilly arrived safe and sound about 1:15 this afternoon. I've been busy getting other things done since, so no pics today. And, she's made it known far and wide that htere is now a donk on the place.

 

[AnnaC]

Ooooooooooooo exciting - cant wait for those pictures!

 

[chandab]

I thought I heard her announce her arrival!! Quite a set of lungs on the girl!!!

When I stopped at the neighbors to get more chopped hay for Che`, I stopped in at the house and told them I had a donkey just in case they here her. They are about 2 miles away, but since we can here their cattle... Didn't want them wondering what strange creature was lurking about the place.

 

[AnnaC]

So where are the pictures???????????????

Freezing rain yesterday and a trip to town interrupted my plans.
