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, offers a comprehensive overview of this hardy creature — the most complete, up-to-date reference of its kind. Here is everything donkey enthusiasts need to know about the animal’s history, physiology, behavior, breed characteristics, daily care, and health needs.
Readers will come to understand this versatile animal, and through understanding will become skilled, satisfied owners. The Donkey 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 owner needs to get the most out of this gentle, hardworking animal.
I must have a donkey!
| Customer Rating: | | This book is great! I ordered it online and when it arrived I was immediately impressed with the quality of the book and the illustrations. When I sat down to read it, I was thrilled. The book is easy to read despite being an in depth manual for donkey owners. It is full of great information that is well organized and will serve as a great reference book. Sue Weaver writes with a conversational tone that shows that she truly loves these animals. She draws on her lifetime of experience with donkeys to make you fall in love with them too. I don't have a donkey yet, but I MUST get one! |
A Really good donkey book!!!
| Customer Rating: | | Having gotten my 1st donkey in 2/08 needing a companion for my horse who lost her best friend I wanted as much info on these guys as I could find. Previously bought 2 other books and a training DVD, both were OK so far but this book has given me alot of insights that I did not know about. As a matter of fact, since getting the first donkey in 2/08 we now have a new mom which foaled in 8/08. This book I would highly recommend to new donkey people as well as experienced. I happened to have on hand frosted mini wheats which were suggested as a training treat and they LOVE them! Never would have thought of it. Glad I bought this book, will be referring to time and again. |
