Eponine is a gorgeous dark-brown miniature donkey with wooly bloodlines and an even softer heart. She’s an “in your pocket” companion who loves to follow her people wherever they go and thrives on attention and affection. Her sire is SAW Midnight Snicker'Snack (aka NickNack) formerly of Stay a While Farm in West Virginia.

Easygoing and social, Eponine gets along wonderfully with the other donkeys and highland cattle she's pastured with. She’s gentle, curious, and always ready to nuzzle up for scratches or join you on chores. The perfect home for Eponine will appreciate her friendly personality and give her the daily companionship she adores, as well as having other donkey or equine companions for her.

Transportation can be arranged nationwide. She is also welcome to stay on with indefinite boarding on our farm. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

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).
