Howdy,
Driving down the road this week I noted two brand new foals playing on a horse farm close to our farm they were enjoying the sunshine in the Pacific Northwest and life. Made me think about how important it is for people to understand just because their tall does not mean they are full-grown.
Several times people have pulled into oure farm and said “oh what a cute baby donkey you have”, too funny! Rocket Man is our 18 year old mini donkey 
Please read as much information as you can on the growth plates to understand what age your beloved donkey, horse or mule is full-grown. Select Age My Equine Is Full Grown to read more and discuss this information with your vet. Wondering how much weight a mini donkey can carry? Select What Is The Safe Amount Of Weight Mini donkey and please remember to keep learning and sharing information.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

LOL! My Gotland Mare is 12.2. People ask:
“How old is she?”
“Seventeen.” I reply. Then they ask:
“So she’s full grown?”
“Yup.”
