Forum: http://kymda.org/forum/ Miniature Donkey Expo and Driving Clinic It is that time of year again and I am planning for yet another workshop. Last year went well and many have expressed an interest. The following is what I am proposing, but would love to know what your interests are at this point. First the driving clinic: This will be held on June 20th. It will start at 8:00 AM and conclude at 5:00 PM on Saturday evening. As part of this workshop you will learn how to measure for a harness, where to buy one, how to train your donkey to pull a cart and some problems you may encounter. You will meet several men from the KY Donkey Association who are willing to train minis to drive provided that you start them with the proper ground work first. This workshop will be led by Bill Cox. He has trained many championship driving donkeys. He normally trains the standard donkeys, but truly understands the mind of the donkey and all the tricks of the trade. In addition we will offer some alternative sessions for those who are not interested in teaching their donkey to pull a cart. The following topics are ones we feel confident in and are able to be of assistance with. For those who attended last year some of the information will be the same, however, there will be a lot of new information that has been added. The following classes will be held on Saturday only. Hooves: Problems, Solutions, videos, live demonstration, products, etc. Foaling: Problems, Solutions, videos, live demonstration, DNA Testing, Paper Work, camera system, Mare Stare. Breed Standards: Conformation discussions, videos, websites etc. Showing: I can go over each class that will be offered in KY at the Championship Show, discuss the rule book, attire, how to train for the show, necessary paper work, Health Passports, etc. Microchipping: Where to buy them, getting a reader, what to do with the stickers, video, etc. Clipping\Grooming: Tricks, products, videos, live demonstration. The cost for the driving clinic which will be held both on Friday night and all day Saturday will cost $150.00 per farm (Two people). The Saturday workshop will cost 100.00 per farm (Two people). All money earned will be given directly to the KY Mule and Donkey Association to fund the KY State Championship Miniature Donkey Show. If you are interested then please email me at lawson@adonaifarm.com. We would love to have you. Mules and Donkeys At the song of these words images of animals weighted down with life's burdens comes to mind. In thinking of them it made me realize that we too can carry some pretty heavy burdens of our own. How does this affect us and what can we do about it. I came across this small piece of advice and thought you might enjoy it.
