Modern Use Of A Donkey

Today there are still many places that prohibit the use of cars where residents use donkeys to pull carts for transportation and to work in fields for farming. According to the Robinson Ranch in Texas, donkeys are also used as sheep or goat herders, bonding with a flock and protecting it from coyotes or dogs. Donkeys are also used as a mount, particularly for disabled riders, who often find the placidity and affection of the donkey calming. When halter-breaking other equines, the donkey and a young horse or donkey are haltered together and the donkey leads its young charge around, getting the younger animal used to the halter and being led. Donkeys are also very often used as stable mates for horses, especially retired horses and weaning mares. So what are waiting for Buy a donkey now!
