I for one would not want to attempt to train a 16 year old anything. Especially a donkey. A young donkey is difficult enough!

I would not think it would be easy to break a 16 year old donkey to ride.
I think going with a mule would be a wise choice.

Donkeys are smarter than you, mules are downright freaking brilliant.

See now I'm thinking.
My pasture produces more grass than my goats can eat.
Hesitate on getting a couple of steers because of Johnnes.
@Baymule
Do you think it would be hard to acclimate a mule to my goats?
This one's pretty

Pretty! I like the line "She is just 9 yrs. old and has her whole life ahead of her." Um, mules are born at 9 years of age????See now I'm thinking.

Especially a HUMAN! Have you ever tried to teach a 16 Y/O human anything? They already know everything they need to know

@Bruce mules can live up to 40 years. If properly cared for they can be active and useful almost all their life.
@OneFineAcre I would call and ask. I have a mule and she would attack the sheep if she could. She also hates dogs. I can just imagine the devastation she would leave behind her if she could go chicken stomping.
