Sagebrush Rooster's Star (aka Star) is a black roan jennet. She is 17 months old, and is out of Mammoth Jackstock parents (56 1/2" and 57 1/2" tall). Star is a sweet pocket donkey and loves to hang out with her human friends. She is very curious, and is quite a fast learner and a big ham! She likes to play with whatever she can find, and has even washed her feed bowl in her water trough on occation!

Star leads nicely and lets me pick up and trim her hooves. She has also learned how to cross my training ground rails and wooden bridge, and she thinks she's quite the grown up girl now.

Star is very athletic and should make a great riding or driving donkey when she grows up! She is out of some top jackstock lines, including Jen-Jack, Too Tall Jones, Texas Scooter, and Bully Boy. She is a granddaughter of the many times Bishop Champion, Rooster. Her older half-sister was here for saddle training for a few months and has an excellent performance temperament, so if Star is anything like her, she will be a super performance donkey someday.

Star is current on all her vaccinations (EWT/West Nile, Flu/Rhino and EVA) and worming. Star comes with a current coggins and travel papers, registration certificate, halter, and owners manual detailing her training and care.

Here are a few video clips of Star playing:

Star playing in the snow.
- Gallop and sliding stop, then ask Bentley, "How did that look? Do you think I could be a reining champion someday?"
- Frolicking around in the snow, and of course who can resist playing "Queen of the mountain" on the dirt hill!
- Snow-plow nose in the snow.
- Showing off her springy trot.
- And of course the classic donkey camera pose - follow the camera until you are too close for picture. :-)
- More trot, and checking out the training obstacle parts.
- Playing with her stick.
- And more trot.

Sagebrush Dazzlin' Daisy (aka Daisy) is 5 yrs. old and 53 1/2" tall. She is a black roan jennet. Daisy is a sweet girl with a pocket-donkey temperament. When I go out to her field, she is quick to come over and look for attention. She especially enjoys tail scratches!

Daisy trailer loads well, is pretty good about hoof care and trimming, and leads nicely. We started Daisy under saddle last summer, teaching her the basics of riding. We only worked at a walk because I didn't want to put too much stress on her while she was pregnant. She was on maternity break all winter and spring awaiting the arrival of her baby.

I have ridden Daisy a couple times this summer since she had her baby, and she has really been nice to ride! She was soft and responsive, and picked the trot right up for me when I asked for it. She also turned nicely, and stopped when asked. I believe she may also have a 4-beat intermediate "gaited" gait as well, but I haven't done enough work with that one to have it consistant yet. She has also learned to cross my raised wooden "bridge" trail obstacle and ground rails. If you're looking for a nice sweet riding donkey, Daisy is the girl for you!

Daisy has excellent conformation with nice straight legs and a solid, more drafty type build. She also has a very pretty head on her, and would make a nice addition to a donkey breeding program.

Daisy is current on her vaccinations (EWT/West Nile, and Flu/Rhino) and worming. Daisy comes with a current coggins and travel papers, registration certificate, halter, and owners manual detailing her training and care.

SOLD - Congratulations to Mary Lou Linge of Overton, NV on purchasing this sweet young jennet!

Sagebrush Midnight Magic (aka Maggie) is a black jennet. She was born on our farm June 12, 2007. Maggie's mother is Sagebrush Dazzlin' Daisy and her father is 1990 Bishop Reserve Champion Double C Conejo.

Maggie has been a pocket donkey since birth, and would climb into your lap if you'd let her! Maggie was imprinted at birth, and happily allows us to handle her all over.

Maggie is very athletic, with lovely conformation and disposition. She loves to play and is also a quick learner. Although she's still quite young and we won't start her formal training for some time still, she has already learned a few valuable skills like a pro. She stands quietly for us to pick up all 4 feet, and has since day 1. She learned the "touch" game almost as soon as we started teaching it to her. She is learning to stand still for us to check her teeth, and is learning to back up on command with just gentle finger pressure.

Maggie isn't afraid to cross water when we irrigate her paddock, and we'll introduce her to the wooden bridge obstacle soon. I'm sure she'll love playing on it!

We've put a halter on her and started gently teaching her to give to halter pressure. She's still too young to do much leading work yet, as we don't want to injure her by putting too much pressure on her neck just yet. But she's starting to learn the basics of giving to gentle pressure which will come immensely useful in her future training.

SOLD - Congratulations to Sue Wallace of Osceola Kingdom Longears in Enumclaw, WA on the purchase of this beautiful jennet!

Sagebrush Desert Desire (aka Smokey) is a black Mammoth Jackstock jennet. She is coming 10 years old, and 56" tall.

Smokey has a great disposition and loves being with people. She has an exceptional performance temperament. She is a very willing learner, and loves to move out - when she's not tired, she'd rather trot and canter than just walk. She has a beautiful trot and a nice smooth canter, and I believe also a running walk or foxtrot kind of gait. I'm currently working with her on getting that gait consistant and on que, then I'll video tape it to identify exactly which gait it is.

In May of 2003, after only 8 weeks of saddle training, I showed Smokey in Barrels, Polebending, and Keyhole at Bishop Mule Days. She did very well considering her amount of training time, and was a joy to ride. She even got used to walking around the water trucks and puddles there. I bought another riding donkey that summer, and didn't worked much with Smokey's saddle training between then and now.

This spring I have Smokey back in my training program full time again. She is loving every minute of it, and is becoming an excellent riding and show donkey!

She is current on all her vaccinations (EWT/West Nile, Flu/Rhino, and EVA) and worming. Smokey comes with a current coggins and travel papers, registration certificate, halter, and owners manual detailing her training and care.

SOLD - Congratulations to Summer Hunt of Byron, California on the purchase of this wonderful jennet!

Sagebrush Lady Elvira (aka Elsie) is 16 yrs. old and 47" tall. She is a minimally spotted gray jennet with a black cross, white blaze, and a few white spots. She is double registered with ADMS and ACOSA.

Elsie has a wonderful friendly temperament. She was raised with children, and loves being with people. Elsie is trained to ride (small or light weight riders due to her size) and drive, and was shown and placed in the driving events at Bishop Mule Days in 2005. She'd be a great little show donkey for someone looking for a nice jennet with a performance temperament.

Elsie has been very well exposed to a lot of things. A few years ago when I decided to see if she'd cross a tarp, she just walked right across the first time without even batting an eye (unlike most of my other donkeys). Also one time when I had her in harness (with a driving bridle and blinders on), someone accendently let a young labrador puppy loose in the yard where Elsie and I were working. He came running up to Elsie (who couldn't even see him coming), and jumped up on her chest to lick her nose. I thought for sure she'd spook, but she just stood real still while she figured out what had just hit her and slowly backed away from him. I've taken her down to Bishop Mule Days (which is a very big and busy show), and she hasn't been scared by the cars, water trucks, mules, wagons, crowds, etc. I've also worked her at our local equestrian park, and she has been fine being led across concrete, asphalt, grass, dirt, gravel, and working inside their indoor arena.

Elsie has excellent conformation, and is also a great mother. She has produced several really nice spotted foals. Her spotted 2002 foal, Sagebrush Alpine Angel, is in one of the pictures below.

She is current on all her vaccinations (EWT/West Nile, Flu/Rhino, and EVA) and worming. Elsie comes with a current coggins and travel papers, registration certificates, halter, and owners manual detailing her training and care.
