We invite you to come to our place here in Oklahoma. Spend a day, or even a few days riding each and every one of this outstanding group of mammoth saddle donkeys we have put together for your consideration. Please include your phone number when e-mailing us.
As of April 2024, we have had so many folks visiting our ranch and buying donkeys, we haven't had time to update our website. We can assure you that we will resume updates to the site as soon as things here slow down just a bit. We love sharing pictures and details about the riding donkeys and spring foals.
Many people ask the "goes out alone" question. To us, that's part of being a broke riding donkey. When you see any donkey on our website advertised as "BROKE TO RIDE," this will absolutely be part of the package.
Right now we are busy at work, training the next set of saddle donkeys!

DANNY BOY
SOLD
Danny Boy - Is a 5 year old gelding that is 57 inches tall. There is quite a story behind this outstanding mammoth saddle donkey. He actually belongs to our daughter, Becca who as many of you already know has been one of the most successful show women in the country. She has trained and shown the only three time consecutive World Champion western pleasure donkey in the history of the Bishop Mule Days Show. Danny Boy has also been ridden and trained by Becca.
However, Becca has chosen travel nursing as her career for at least the next few years. She just completed a 21 week contract in Hawaii and is home for Thanksgiving at this time and then will be leaving for another 13 week stint in Phoenix. Because of these reasons she has decided to relocate Danny Boy to a home that will utilize him to his full potential.
Now, more about Danny Boy. He truly is a dream mammoth riding donkey. Whether you want to have a world class show and performance donkey or the best trail donkey you can ever imagine. He has placed in every class in every show Becca has entered him in. He rides English every bit as good as he rides Western. I see very little reason to go through all of the leads, loads, goes out alone, stands to saddle and mount, being good with his feet, traffic sate, etc., etc., etc. that we usually explain for every riding donkey we put on here. All of this absolutely goes without saying.
MILO
SOLD
Milo - is a three-year-old, dark brown gelding that is 53 inches tall at this time. Milo is a pretty cool saddle donkey. When he came to us, he was very thin and under nourished. After some vitamins and worming regiment, he has a good appetite and is making really good progress in this area. Meanwhile, Milo is a riding donkey that seemed to almost appreciate his kind new treatment. He will soon be at full body weight. Since he has taken to his training and he has passed every one of our website requirements, we decided to go ahead and help him find a lifetime home.

CHILLI

He stands quietly to saddle and mount, goes out alone, crosses water, walks out in a good steady pace that will increase if you ask, rides quietly through neighborhoods with kids, dogs, and basketball games going on and is equally comfortable on the trails and rough country.

C.J.
SOLD
C.J. - Is a 10 year old spotted gelding that is 60 inches tall. In 2017 we were very fortunate to own, and sell this big, strong, and very gentle mammoth saddle donkey to a great trail riding couple here in Oklahoma. He stayed with them ever since their 2017 purchase where he served them well. In the last few months their lifestyle changed to the point that they made the decision to not let this top notch mammoth riding donkey stand in the pasture and go to waste, so they gave us the opportunity to own him again.
He is a great big baby sitter that would be great for the inexperienced or novice rider. He also is a great trail mount for anyone. Carrying a heavy load is absolutely no problem for him. He doesn't care if he is out alone or with a large group of riders. C.J. is a truly mammoth riding donkey that just does his own thing in any situation. He doesn't care one thing about loping but he certainly travels out at a nice pleasant pace, is easy to catch, lead, trailer load, does not flinch in heavy traffic, crosses water, etc.
