Friendly, dependable, intelligent, and easy to care for, donkeys
are increasingly prized by small-scale farmers, horse lovers, and
animal enthusiasts. Already, there are hundreds of thousands of
donkeys and mules in the U.S., and their population is growing
steadily. Donkeys not only pull carts, carry riders, and tote gear
for hikers, but they also make terrific stable companions and
livestock guardians, and they are renowned for their skills in
transport, raising water, milling, and farm tillage. They're also
gentle with children and the elderly, making them a popular therapy
animal and family pet.
A donkey is not simply a long-eared horse, however; understanding
the donkey's distinctive traits is critical to the animal's
well-being and usefulness. "The Donkey Companion," by Sue Weaver,

Companion" offers detailed information about different breeds and
types; provides tips for finding and selecting the right animal;
explains donkeys' daily care and health requirements; and guides
readers through the nuances of training, riding, driving, and
breeding. The book is enhanced with fun facts, training tips,
quotes, photographs, illustrations, and additional resources. From
foaling to first aid, and from grooming to professional showing,
this extensive guide offers everything a donkey ownerneeds to get
the most out of this gentle, hardworking animal.
