Superman is healing very nicely.  He has been able to be out of the stall full time since yesterday.  It has been so wet that I know he can't have a  dust bath and get himself all dirty down under.  Last night he and Buzz  had the run of the paddock and barn while the horse was locked away.  This  morning I put them all together.  They are a good group.  After they ate a  while they all went back into the barn and had a nap. The horse was in his  stall and both donkeys were in the other stall. 

**UPDATE 6-25-11**

Little Superman is now well healed up from his gelding procedure and ready to find his permanent home. He has learned his place with horses as well as other donkeys due to his great foster home. This young man would do well with another young donkey or horse that is looking for a playmate !

Foster mom Jane is working on Super-Dooper (his nik- name) to get used to the dreaded fly spray application. She is also working on picking up all four feet and tapping on them while he stands in the pasture untied. Lessons are progressing well as after all he is just a youngster. Jane also reports that all three sleep together in the same stall when the doors are left open.

Sharon,

Things continue to be great.  He is just about standing still 100% for the fly spray.  He leads better than Buzzy.  He is not pushy or pully.  Working on the whoa and stand thing.  I plan to put a little pack on him that Buzzy uses.  I will put hay in the pockets, and take some pictures....maybe even do a little youtube video of him.    

I still have my two horses.  I am putting a link to their youtube sale videos.  If you could pass on the link to people you know who may be interested, I would appreciate it.  

Shiloh would be a great grandchild horse.  He loves donkeys.  He would be a great horse companion to an elderly donkey or a handicapped donkey.  He does not initiate play.  He just treasures the companionship.  He also tolerates multiple daily play of the two young men here...and shares his stall with them both.  He is 17 yrs.  He is $2500.

Woody would provide leadership and play, and would rule whatever group he is with.  He is 4 yrs and is just starting his life.  He has been started correctly, been to shows and in a parade (practically slept through it).  He would not be good with handicapped or elderly donkeys.  He is $5000.

Once they are sold (or leased out), I can take two more donkeys for the winter.  If I do get that pregnant jenny that I wish for, I have the ability to keep her separate (from the geldings) as she nears her due date in her own stall and paddock...which leads to a private pasture.  She would be able to see everyone else and would share fence lines.  

Thanks again for sharing Super Dooper with me.  He is a real treasure.
