A blanket is like a fire exinguisher we hope we do not have to use it, be prepared when the emergency strikes. Melody Johnson, Donkey Whisperer Farm ®
Please watch your donkey for signs of hypothermia! By origin donkeys are desert animals and yes, they have adapted to many climates out of survival, but when temperatures get below 20 degrees, they may suffer.
Watch for shaking, tucking of the tail, standing off alone and a decrease in activity, appetite and drinking. Should you see any of these signs immediately blanket your donkey, get him/her into a warm shelter, and call your veterinarian. Hypothermia can lead to colic and even death.
Please check the blanket every day for sores etc., remove when the weather is back to raining and or the donkey is not needing stall rest per your vet. No blanket is 100% waterproof. We need to change them out and use common sense. If you have shelter, slow feeder with hay and warm water and your donkey is not shaking their fur works just fine and drys perfectly. Senior equines, donkeys with sickness can and do need our help while living in domestication. As always discuss this with your vet before the freezing wind and snow comes. Additionally remember trainig your donkey to wear a blanket should be done before the cold comes.

Donkeys are the desert equine requiring a serious diet. Additionally, donkeys are deep thinkers, stoic and are not flight equine Usually. This does not mean your donkey cannot spook as all humans and animals can have fear. Most donkeys stop and think when scared. Once you learn the warning signs of fear in your donkey and relaxation you will be prepared to train your donkey.
The Extroverted donkey will test you as a leader. This donkey can lock up when in fear too, not move the feet and then watch out.
The Introverted donkey will not move their feet, be slower to respond and when stressed lay down.
Best to have a plan before attempting to train a donkey. Why? Donkeys are really smart.

“Horses Dream Of Being Trained The Way A Donkey Demands To Be Trained” Melody Johnson, Trainer.
Melody teaching via skype and Dropbox worldwide. Melody teaches the owner how to train virtually worldwide! Why? Donkeys are smart not stubborn. Training the owner to train the donkey saves donkeys lives from auction, sales and slaughter. We purchased our twenty acre farm in Sequim, WA with nothing on the land. Finally after everything is competed for the donkeys and horses we are going to build a home. Living in a 5th for two years now. Our home begins in 2017, thank you Jesus.
The photo above was drawn specifically for Melody Johnson to provide promotional education to save the life of donkeys. Sadly a donkey who has no training is at risk for sales, auction and slaughter. Please share this blog post as you could be saving a donkey’s life. A big thank you to Jeff Elison, you can find his christian drawings on facebook.

Thank you for re-blogging this post.
Sadly the donkey is still the underdog of the equine world making education difficult to find for the owner of the domesticated donkey. Here on the Donkey Whisperer Farm we work hard to train the owner to train the donkey and provide educational support for the health and well-being of the donkeys domesticated environment, shelter, pasture, toys, another donkey to play with. Donkeys need another donkey to live with. Geldings enjoy living with another gelding. Jennies with another Jennie. A Jack (Stallion) should not live with another donkey. Inner breeding can start as early of six months.
Many people think the donkey is easy to keep healthy in domestication. This is not true! The donkey evolved in the desert requiring us humans to learn the strict diet of the donkey and more.
If you need help learning how to prepare your donkey for the trimmer or more we are working very hard to help you. Our Donkey Halters are a tool for you the owner to train your donkey. Please never leave any halter on your donkey while not in 100% attendance to avoid self-mutilation or death.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
