Bringing Your donkey home is the most important video. Why? This video helps the owner or caretaker set the farm up for the success and for health. The Donkey Whisperer Farm ® trains the owner or caretaker to train the donkey. Training donkeys is serious business. Training donkeys is not the same as training horses. Donkeys evolved from the desert. Donkeys can think, plan and before you know it the donkey has trained the human to do exactly what the donkey wants to do.

Donkeys who cannot get their hooves trimmed, come when called, drag the human on the lead line, live a grim life.  These donkeys are sold, re-sold and at high risk for meat buyer sales. All domesticated donkeys need to have social skills. All donkeys can be trained using resistance free methods, no pain. Learn how to Stay On Donkey Time ®, never drill, be fair. Most importantly learn how to do quality exercises with your donkey, short no more than twenty minutes. Return the next day to see what your donkey has learned. Donkeys have photographic memories.

“Donkeys are not horses with long ears.” Melody Johnson, Donkey Whisperer Farm ®

“Horses Dream Of Being Trained The Way A Donkey Demands To Be Trained”, Melody Johnson

I teach the owner or caretaker how to train the donkey using resistance free methods. No pain.  Are you ready to learn how to unlock the mind of your donkey? Please remember your donkey is smart he or she is waiting for you to learn how to lead and be a fair leader 100% of the time. Donkeys love and bond for life. Donkeys can live up to 50 years.

Donkeys are not like the horse in any way. Donkeys will never forget what they learned good or bad. Donkeys do not need a tune up to learn how to do something from the human they trust as a fair leader. The key is learning how to lead and not force.

Bringing home the trained donkey:

This donkey will pretend to know nothing. You must learn how to train your donkey to follow you as a fair leader. Earn the trust of your donkey. Never betray a donkey.

Donkeys look at a human and think;

1. Treat dispenser
2. Abuser
3. Fair Leader

Which one are you?

 

I am married to my best friend and husband Scott of twenty-seven years, I am forever grateful to him for helping me keep my dream of farm living in the midst of trauma.  I am a survivor of a life-threatening car accident. We share our life with one Mammoth donkey, three mini donkey, two rescue standard donkeys, two horses, three dogs and one kitty.  

Donkeys, horses and mules are healing for humans they help us step out of our personal journey in life.  To know a donkey will forever change the human who wants to learn and love again. Many people call themselves horse trainers. A donkey trainer is at the top of the equine training game. Training a donkey takes personal work and letting go of our ego and goals in life. Donkeys are always On Donkey Time ®. Donkeys are game players.

God in Jesus Christ name is amazing! I share why Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and how my husband and I trust GOD to hold us tight in the middle of trauma. I am the survivor a a life threatening car accident. I am physically disabled. GOD is amazing! We continue to thank GOD for his Miracle of life and healing one day at a time.When I am pressed on every side by troubles, I am not crushed and broken.  When I am perplexed because I don’t know why things happen as they do, I don’t give up and quit. 2nd Corinthians 4:8 I pray my transparency gives you hope and the ability to never give up most importantly make Jesus Christ you Lord and Savior.  The bible is still my favorite book. 

“If you have something you want to do with your life get going to move towards your dreams and goals as life is fragile and precious. Melody Johnson.

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

Donkeys NEED a strong playmate to grab a hold of the neck, play tug with a food bowl and chase after.  Donkeys are not horses they are donkeys and they play different from the horse.  If you have a herd of cows and a donkey chasing after them I would say your donkey is bored and more than likely young and has no donkey to play with he/she is bored to death. Or a Jack (intact) donkey.

Two donkeys will play donkey games.

Never leave a donkey with baby sheep, goats or baby cows as the donkey can get bored and pick up the youngster by the neck “donkeys play really rough and can kill the animal not big enough to defend itself.”  Donkeys are not being crazy or mean they are just doing what donkeys do playing, they need a play mate that can play the way Donkeys play. Donkeys can and do kill baby sheep, calves, goats and dogs. 

Ideas To Stop This Behavior – Remember Donkeys Are Thinkers and They Get Bored Easy

1.  Make sure your donkey has toys, black feed bowl or orange traffic cone – Donkeys like to play with their mouths all the time

2.  If your donkey is a Jack turn him into a John

3.  Please remember Donkeys go in two’s, get your donkey another donkey to play with and chase.  Size matters, pair the donkeys up fair. Diet is easier to manage this way too. Never ever leave your donkey with an animal too small as donkeys are just being donkeys they play really rough with their mouths and grab the neck of the playmate.  This is why donkeys have such thick necks compared to the horse as donkeys grab the neck of another donkey.

Please share information and enjoy your donkeys as donkeys are most happiest with another donkey and remember Donkeys are indeed precious gifts from GOD.

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

Howdy,

Rio our Mammoth donkey is thirteen years old 2019.

 

Rio age six, is 16”1  hands at the withers not the ears and yes he still has one more year of growing to do.  Rio is a Mammoth donkey 100% donkey no horse he will be full-grown at age seven you see the bigger the equine the longer it takes for them to mature.  As the human owner it is our responsibility to learn what age the equine is full-grown and what it takes to keep them in optimum health mentally, physically and emotionally.    I have only been on Rio about four times for very short times and never hard work as he was way too young to be ridden right before the semi truck accident I survived in 2010 leaving me with a screws in my pelvis and disabled.

Before the car accident

Many times we took Rio, Lily and Rocket Man for lot’s of walks in the woods to prepare them for trail riding and I highly suggest you do the same if your goal is to trail ride and you have a equine big enough and old enough to carry your weight.   Training the equine to load (trailer and carry weight) without stress is the most important thing to do as you do not want to be trying to trailer load in an emergency.  Any time you can spend with a youngster preparing them for what you want them to do as an adult is time well spent, it’s like laying a foundation on a house make it strong and solid.

If you have young donkeys, mules or horses please wait to do riding until they are full-grown as their bones, joints and mind needs time to grow up.  If you wait for them to physically mature you will have a healthy and happy equine into their senior years if you push ahead too much too fast you can cripple the equine for life.

Rio (mammoth donkey)  just a few days old

Rio nine months old – Look how GOD puts all the thick baby donkey fur on to keep him warm in the winter

“Rio 9 months old this is the face I fell in love with” look at those eyes 🙂

Rio at 9 months old

Rio at 1 year old

Rio with Lily at 1 year old just got home to our farm – Lily has always liked the donkeys and the donkeys have always liked her we got lucky
