I feel that it's important to gain knowledge to try and understand your donkey, as the informed owner will be able to make better decisions about their care. Donkeys do suffer greatly due to ignorance, neglect and abuse. Hopefully by arming yourself with know-how you'll be able to make your donkey's life happy and meaningful.

Besides, I'm afraid I rather love to collect books, especially horse, donkey and dog books. Here are some of my favorite books and magazines that I find myself referring back to on a regular basis. If you have some personal favorites - let me know. I'm always looking to add to my bookshelves! E-mail to: Contact Blue Mountain Farm
