Sire: PWF Geronimo, Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Sire:  Brasstown Brayers' Chippewa, 33.5" Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Dam:  PMF Little Minarta, 32" Brown/Gray

Dam:  The Elms Black Lace, 33" Black w/Cross
      Grand Sire: MGF Black Knight, 32.5" Black
      Grand Dam:  L.U.A. Maxx's Sweet Caroline, 32.75" Black
         

The Elms Chantilly Lace is Geronimo's last foal of 2009, and another lovely spotted jennet to finish the year. Her mother is an elegant, true black miniature donkey jennet. She is one of our Black Knight daughters, and has a wonderful temperament, which he is known to give to his foals. Chantilly Lace is a tri-color spot at birth, mostly brown and white, with a bold black spot on her leg. We have seen that the spotted donkey foals can vary a lot in color in their foal coat, often getting much darker when they shed. It will be interesting to watch this little jennet develop.

      Grand Sire:  L (Lipps) Zeus, 31.5" Brown
      Grand Dam:  Burrcrest Jackie O'Assis, 32" Gray-Dun
         

Jill's foals mature quickly, and have great conformation. They always have straight legs, good back line, good teeth, and nice personalities. We think this foal will also develop this way.

Consigned with her dam to the Great American Miniature Donkey Sale, Aug 1, 2009 !

Brown Jennet
DOB 6/02/09
MDR #Pending

Sire:  HHAA Mojave, 32" Black
     Grand Sire:  Pine Grove Farm Peppercorn Jack, 29½" Brown
      Grand Dam:  Windcrest Little Sierra, 32½" Very Dark Brown/White Spot

Dam:  Merry-G--Round's Nighten Gale, 31¾" Black
     Grand Sire:  Merry-Go-Round's Black Magic, 31¼" Black
     Grand Dam:  Merry-Go-Round's Sassafras, 33" Dark Brown

This is a darling little jennet, right from the beginning she followed her mother everywhere. Trot, trot trot, just a little go getter. Her sire, Mojave, is black and is known to carry red. We think he gave her a red gene, so that is why she is a lighter color than both her sire and dam. Now at two months of age Little Go Getter is showing much darker color on her face and may end up a dark brown.

Gray-Dun Jennet

Sire:  HHAA Mojave, 32" Black
     Grand Sire:  Pine Grove Farm Peppercorn Jack, 29½" Brown

Dam:  Arcadian Arabella, 32 5/8" Gray & White Spotted
     Grand Sire:  Dewey Meadows Valentino, 32.75" Dark Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Dam:  Cisco & Sons' Ittabit, 33" Dark Gray-Dun

She is a lovely gray-dun jennet, with a nice, long cross and some of the traditional markings so seldom seen in the other colors of miniature donkeys. She has collar buttons, which are black spots on the top of the neck, and garters (leg stripes) as well. Stocky build, and those very straight legs that come from Mojave. She is also quite elegant when she moves.

      Grand Sire:  MGF Prime Time, 30.5" Black & White Spotted
      Grand Dam:   MGF Venus Bai Jetha 738, 31.5" Black w/Cross
         

This little jennet is mostly white, with tyger spots, and symmetrical cheek patches. We have wanted to name a donkey Pearl for awhile, and it suits her. Another sweet spot sired by Geronimo.

Sire: PWF Geronimo, Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Sire:  Brasstown Brayers' Chippewa, 33.5" Brown & White Spotted
     Grand Dam:  PMF Little Minarta, 32" Brown/Gray

Dam:  Kota's Midnight Miss, 31.75" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire:  Kota's Samuel H., 29.5" Black w/Cross
      Grand Dam:  Kota's Hunky Koree, 34.5" Dark Brown
         

There are no spots in Midnight Miss's background, so we were surprised to get a spotted jennet with so much white on her. Her foal coat is very fine, and gives all the pictures of her a soft focus, like mist. So Lady in the Mist is her name. Thanks to Linda Trimnell for suggesting it. At two days old, already very sweet, she is sure to be a favorite. Not Available at This Time.

Sire:  The Elms Red Fusion, 30" Dark Red

      Grand Dam:  MGF Venus Aphrodite, 32.5" Dark Red

Dam:  J&L Mini Stables Dark Angel, 32.25" Black, NLP
     Grand Sire:  SS Red Lightning, 32" Red
     Grand Dam:  J&L Mini Stables Sophia, 35" Black

His mother carries red with black, so we bred her to Fusion to try for Fusion's intensely rich color. It looks like we succeeded with this mini donkey jack. He is The Elms Red Fusion's first foal, and at 1/2 day old, he already has straight legs with wide spacing. The small star is a bonus that highlights his face. It is early yet, but this little donkey may be retained in our breeding program. Thanks to our webmaster for this great name suggestion.

Geronimo's second foal, and a beautiful spot. Flying Cloud has similar markings as her sire, including the large white patches on the hip, making her look like she is wearing shorts from behind. She has dark legs from above the hocks, and lots of bold contrast. Full eye mascara, and about 50% color. She is a very nicely marked spotted miniature donkey jennet. Not for sale, Future Elms Farm Brood Jennet.

Yes, he is good, very very good. Our great donkey friend, Linda Trimnell, named him tonight, and said he is tops. Linda really knows her donkeys, and told us his sire, Geronimo, would be a great jack for our program. Tiny, stocky, very straight, in a rich black color, and with those parentheses ears, Black Eagle has it all. Black Eagle is for sale, available at weaning.

Dam:  Windcrest Makenna, 34¼" Black & White Spotted
     Grand Sire:  Spotted Acres Maxx, 32½" Black, NLP
     Grand Dam:  Heiken's Ark Sunflower, 32¼ Gray & White Spotted

Here is a nicely marked spotted jack, sired by Mojave. He is a tri-color spot, with a tyger spotted pattern. He has full mascara around his eyes, no pink. He has similar markings to his mother, Makenna, and we named him after the old movie, Makenna's Gold. His dam is known around here as Rayban, because her black patches by both eyes make her look like she is wearing sunglasses. Makenna, the foal, has nice straight legs, and a perfect bite, looks like a good future herd sire candidate. After some thought, we have decided to offer Makenna's Gold for sale.

      Grand Sire:  CP's Shortcake, 31¼" Gray-Dun

Here is a drop dead gorgeous black jack, with a big star! He has the glossy black hair, and nice stocky build we often get from our herd sire, Black Knight. His mother, Dinky Doodle, is a classy, and classic, miniature gray dun jennet. We have kept her 2007 foal, The Elms People Magnet, in our breeding herd.

     Grand Sire:  Arrow Creek Harry Houdini, 34" Black w/Cross
     Grand Dam:   MGF Tequila Tygress, 33" Black & White Spotted

Spots! Tequila's first foal is a spotted jack with lots of pretty white on his face, and three wide bands of white that go around his upper legs. So we named him Bandolero. He is a well built foal, and Tequila is doing a fine job mothering him. Tequila is a wooly jennet, and Bandolero carries the long haired genetics. He may be a wooly as well, his mane is exceptionally long for a new foal. Not for sale, Future Elms Farm Herd Sire.

     Grand Sire:  MGF Homer, 33.25" Black & White Spotted
     Grand Dam:   MGF Venus Carrllion, 32" Brown

We like black miniature donkeys, and this jennet hits the spot! Her mother is coal black, with no white hairs other than her nose and eye rings. La Reine Helene is black with a white nose and eye rings, and also the white belly, like her sire, The Elms Rembrandt. Very pretty ears as well. She shows a cross, just barely. She is stocky and straight, and carries herself regally, hence the name. La Reine means 'Queen' in French.

La Reine Helene was sold at the Great American Miniature Donkey Sale 2010. Assphalt Acres bought her and showed her at the Indiana State Fair 2010, where she took 3rd in Yearling Jennets at her first show. She was Reserve Champion Donkey at the Liberty, Indiana , Show August 28, 2010. Congratulations!

     Grand Sire:  Sebastian's Cocoa II, 35" Dark Brown
     Grand Dam:   Spring Ridge Jaime, 35" Brown

I love it when a friend walks in, takes one look at a foal, and says, "that is a fancy foal." From someone who has seen a lot of foals, that is high praise. The Elms Miss Fancy Pants is a fancy miniature donkey, with a black coat, super straight legs, pretty upright head carriage, and a lot of style. Her dam, Jayla, is a rock solid jennet, stocky, short coupled, and straight. Her sire, Rembrandt, is doing what we bred him to do, put the pizzaz in the breeding. Not Available at This Time.

     Grand Sire:  Fisher's Ghost, 30" Fully Frosted White
     Grand Dam:   Fisher's Serenade, 32" Dark Red

We named this miniature donkey jack after my sister, Scotti, who celebrated her 60th birthday the day he was born. He is a deep charcoal gray, with lots of roan in his coat. His mother is a fully frosted roan jennet, so he may get lighter as time goes on. The effect is so pretty, with gray and white hairs mixed in his coat. Scotti has a stocky build, is very correct, and seems to have the mellow temperament of both his sire and dam.

He has a dark chocolate brown coat, and is as straight as can be. He is half brother to our herd sire, The Elms Red Fusion, and sired by our long time herd sire, Black Knight.

     Grand Dam:   MGF Venus Apple Annie, 33" Brown

Another gem of a miniature donkey by our herd sire, Rembrandt! The artist Renoir is known for his dreamy colors in his paintings, and this little mini donkey has fabulous color and patterns. As a foal he shows bold markings, and a brown coat with red highlights. We think his color will change, but not sure how. Meanwhile, he is very eye catching in the field, with a wonderful personality. Renoir carries the wooly gene, from his dam, Apple Blossom.

Twinkle Little Star is simply splendid. Wow! What a start to this year. We have kept her full sister, The Elms Blazing Star, in our herd, and she looks wonderful.
