Yes nice looking donkey - we used to have quite a large one when when we were kids and would ride him in the village. Robbie was not so friendly all the time and I remember one time being thrown off and dragged along the road upside down having caught my foot in the stirrup. Happy memories.
It would be great to have one now for hauling loads up the hill

 Like you say - happy memories and all part of growing up! :sunshine:
But, being a donkey, I don't imagine Robbie dragged you along very fast. That's one thing about donkeys - they're usually slow and steady, rather than panic and rush. Getting ours to do anything faster than a walk  :huff:  (unless there's food involved) is an art in itself.

No, but his full brother is. Born may this year - he will be available after Feb, as I don't wean foals till about 9 months old. I like to leave them with mum while she teaches them a bit about life.
I also have a blue and white mule for sale, about 14h+ and 6 years old. He is ride and drive
