Chillin' with the herd
Goin to look at some mammoth jackstock donkeys here in a couple weeks! I've trained horses and even a few mules, and I've always wanted a donkey but I aint never trained one... So how much does it actually differ? I'm gonna get a weanlin and train him to ride. I know that they mature slower than horses, so I couldn't be on his back for at least 3-4 years, and that most horse-break methods will ruin him, ya gotta outsmart him more like, and that they're hard to fit a saddle to. I was just wonderin if anyone had broke one to ride and any tips would be very helpful. Also, I have a few sheep and some free range chickens (no dogs though, caint stand em lol) and I've heard that some donks can be kinda honery with smaller stock, which I figured gettin a weanlin might help a little, but what's the chances he'll stomp my other animals, and how do I keep him from it without pennin them up?
