Looking After Donkey
By Dorothy Morris

This book contains the wisdom that comes from 20 years of running a donkey stud in England. The book starts with tips on what to look for when choosing your first donkey--good temperament being primary among the important features. Proper conformation is described and both good and bad points are illustrated. Next come discussions on settling in your new donkey, land requirements, and providing shelter and food, followed by guidelines for general training and for specific training to pack, ride, and drive. Healthcare chapters cover teeth, hooves, parasites, and general ailments. Several chapters discuss reproduction and foaling, and a final chapter describes looking after the elderly donkey. This little volume concisely travels over a lot of territory and is nicely illustrated with clear photographs.
