Meet Murphy
What a
wonderful donkey he is !
This handsome
boy spent his last six years with sheep and one day he evidently
decided he had had just about enough of them ! His former owner
leased him out as a horse companion ----a position that Murphy
loved and excelled at. Well the lease period came to it's end
and he was returned home to live with those blasted sheep. Oh
yuk!!! Well the chase was on once again and the owner made the
decision that her beloved Murphy needed to find a new home. Thus
his arrival at TPDR.
Well we are
delighted to have him. This 7 year old dark sorrel gelding has
had the very best of care and training. He is wonderful for the
vet and farrier,sees a trailer and loads immediately, and leads
perfectly. He is very social and loves lots of hugs. He was
raised with children, and is not in the least bit nervous or
spooky. He is very intelligent (could be that was his issue with
those sheep) and though not formally trained to be ridden would
certainly allow small children on his back while being led as he
has done so in the past.
We would prefer a home for
Murphy that will use him for something other than a pasture pet.
He would excel as a companion/pet for special needs children as
well as adults. He would be a very easy candidate to train to
drive. With his gentle nature, social skills, and level of
training his possibilities are almost limitless. His
conformation is lovely so I would think he would do very well in
the lead-in trail classes as well as the gelding classes at the
donkey shows.
