Very cute and talented! Wonder if Linda from 7MSN has seen this for her and Lucy.

I think "Bravo"

Dougie thinks this is a dreadful idea & you should be reprimanded for putting ideas into my head!

billie - GREAT SCOTT! I refuse to show this to Herself - she would see it as an ideal way for me to burn calories whilst becoming fit. All that rushing about...though I must admit that is a most talented donkey.

I need to send the link to Linda - she may have seen it already.

I'm guessing Rafer Johnson and Redford would not be fans either. :)

Though this morning Rafer came into the arena and joined in the lesson with the little girl and the pony. She was giggling like mad b/c Rafer was following us like we were playing follow the leader. :)

Sheaffer, as long as The Woman doesn't take it into her head to saddle you up and get on, all should be fine! We know you are capable of the highest of haute ecole - but will keep it between us so she doesn't get too excited. :)

That is one crazy video. How did he train that donkey?

I don't know anything about his training methods - I hope they were kind. With Rafer Johnson here as a model I can see that donkeys would take easily to work. He seems to want to do the same kinds of things in the arena the horses do.
