He's
Conformationally correct (look at him from any angle!!!)
Balanced
Easy going, loves to please
Fabulous temperament!
Loves to work and entertain a crowd
Happy in the show ring, winners circle or breeding shed
Siring babies as nice as he is and throwing color as a bonus!
Proud sire of 15 foals, 11 out of the 15 are jennets. Gus' foals have had limited campaigning as the majority are jennets and become mommys.

in Texas - his beautiful babies.

No, Gus hasn't been as busy breeding as other jacks. We show him on a
limited basis - it has to be FUN for HIM, too, and we want to make sure
we have time to spend with each foal and adult, (mules, miniature donkeys, horses etc).
We want to work with the homes they go to - not just show homes - but to make sure they have lots of love!
You don't have to show, or breed, to enjoy your donkeys and/or mules!
Our goal is not just to raise donkeys, mules and horses, but to make sure the breed improves - whether they ever set foot in a show ring or ever flutter a blue from their halter or not, they will have the look and skills to do so.
