Wit's End Tumbleweed is our 2001 show gelding who has a very extensive record of wins in the show arena. He has been the Tennessee Donkey Association's High Point or Reserve High Point Gelding for several years. He has also achieved his ADA Excellence in Halter Certificate.

Weeds has a very laid-back personality and wants all attention given to him! He loves children of all ages and has been the focus of many parades and community events. Our grandchildren adore Weeds, and they have successfully shown him in both adult and youth classes the past several years. However, they especially enjoy just jumping on Weeds' back and goofing around on him. Weeds has been our daughter's favorite donkey since we first acquired him a number of years ago, and Weeds will be with us for many years to come!

Jackson is a small, beautifully marked brown 2006 gelding who was successfully shown as a yearling and two year old jack. He was not shown again until the end of 2018, at which time he resurrected his show career as a gelding for our 5-year old grandson. At his very first show with Jackson, he won a large 8 Years and Older Gelding Class! Quite an accomplishment for our grandson and for Jackson, who had not been shown in 10 years! As our grandchildren continue to show, Jackson is back in the show arena for several more years to come. His laid back personality is perfect for the novice youth competitor as they learn the techniques of showmanship.

7/13/2023: I am deeply saddened to have to report that our very special gelding, Farmstead's Henry Johnson, had to be put down this morning following several weeks of declining health related to Cushing Disease. Henry had many challenges over the years related to the loss of his left front leg as an 8 month old foal. Over the past 15 years he went through about a dozen prostheses that were specially made for him, as well as daily care in placing him in his prosthesis in the morning and removing it at night. He suffered through many wounds to his stump in the process, but his wounds would heal with treatment. Recently, however, his wounds were getting harder to heal and his health began to suffer with the diagnosis of Cushing Disease. After extensive soul searching and discussions with our vet, we all came to the conclusion that it would be best for Henry to be put down. I had a very close and personal bond with Henry, and I will miss his hugs and kisses in the days and months ahead. Henry was well known by many people around the country, and his special loving personality will be missed by all, but especially me.
