Sunshine Brays

Sunshine Brays are Miniature Mediterranean donkey breeders in Bell Buckle, TN, in Bedford County and the Nashville area near Murfreesboro. They have cultivated a small herd over the past five years and support breed standards through membership in the American Donkey and Mule Society, with all jennies and jacks receiving routine veterinary screenings and vaccinations.

Foals are raised with daily handling and socialization to promote confident temperaments, living in pasture-based paddocks with sturdy run-in shelters. Annual dental exams and hoof trims are scheduled with a local equine veterinarian, reflecting a focus on preventive care. The Wakefields draw on family farming traditions to guide gentle training for driving or therapy work. Some jacks have earned ribbons at local agricultural fairs, showcasing the breed’s versatile potential.

Each donkey is microchipped and comes with registration papers through official registry channels. Prospective homes receive detailed information on nutrition, hoof care and seasonal management to maintain long-term well-being.
