How much weight can a donkey carry?
Donkeys, including the saddle and rider, can safely carry 20% of their body weight. Please be sure your donkey is prepared to work, meaning be an adult and in condition to work. This means that a miniature donkey weighing 300 pounds can carry 60 pounds, which is excellent for a small child. Donkeys should be full-grown before attempting to do any form of heavy work.

What age is my donkey full-grown?
Miniature donkey age three.
Standard/burro age four.
Mammoth donkey six or seven, depending on the height of the donkey
