Marius

Marius is a handsome little jack out of registered ADMS MDR wooly sire and dam. His amazing whiskers at birth indicate that he will also be a full wooly.

His sire is SAW Mario from Tara Pilonaro and Stay a While Farm in West Virginia, and his dam is our blue-eyed ivory wooly jenny Nieve.

He will be ready to go to a new home when weaned around five months and would make a great jack for any program interested in working with wooly miniature donkeys. He could also be very happy in a pet home as a gelding and would love to go with his friend Leo also available here. Continued boarding is also available on our farm if he is gelded.

Service Description
Your donkey will live with our own herd of miniature donkeys and highland cattle on our farm on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nelson County, Virginia.

The animals have access to several covered barn spaces as well as thick wooded areas for protection from severe weather.

The historic farmhouse is available as a vacation rental, and there are also many other places to stay nearby, including Wintergreen ski resort.

Boarding Service Terms & Facility Rules

We try to maintain numbers so that the natural pasture provides plenty of nutrition through the spring, summer, and fall, with local hay fed through the winter months and as needed otherwise. We provide minerals and salt.

Although I'm a veterinarian, I maintain a relationship with a local equine veterinary practice for most services and to always have someone available in case of emergency. Veterinary and farrier expenses are additional but will be grouped with our own donkeys to save on costs.

We do not live on the property but have an immediate neighbor who is checking on the animals most days. I am also out there to check on them several days each week.

This boarding service includes unlimited unsupervised over-the-fence visits from the public access road, and up to one accompanied visit per quarter.
All services are governed by the Creatures Standard Boarding Agreement (Terms §21).
