Sparky
is almost 5 years old
and spent a few months in our rehab center, before being moved to
his foster home at Jackie Timmerman's.
Jackie says:
Sparky is the sweetest little
guy. He loves to be brushed. After being brushed he won't leave my
side. He still needs some work on leading. He will follow when one
of the others are being lead. He was great for the farrier except
for 1 front foot. The farrier thought that foot may have been
injured in the past. He comes right up to me when I go in the
pasture. He gets along with all of the donkeys.

**** UPDATE from Sparky's foster mom 10-7-08 ***
Sparky came to me with Ben, another mini
almost a year ago. Sparky is leading very well. He is not shy at
all. He gets along with my big donkeys as well as little ones. He is
not aggressive, but won’t let the big ones push him around either. He
plays with my biggest donkey, Hayden, until Hayden gets tired, he also
plays with the others when Hayden won’t play. He is so friendly and
loves attention. He was very patient with me when I was trying to get
a new halter to fit him. He just stood there waiting for me to get it
right. When he sees me coming out to the pasture or the barn he
doesn’t waste any time getting to the fence to greet me. Sparky would
do well with just about anyone for a companion.
