ROCKING PATCH MINI RANCH

Here at Rocking Patch Mini Ranch we are working with other breeders as part of the CanWest Miniature Donkey Promotional Group to find the right donkey that you require.  If we don't have the perfect animal, we will certainly recommend a responsible breeder in your area that can assist you. 

We strongly recommend that, although you may just want a companion for yourself or for another animal, you should consider purchasing two donkeys (or more) if at all possible.  Donkeys are highly social animals that thrive better and live happier with another donkey friend.

W V ALADDIN - SOLD

Aladdin has been sold to Jacqueline Muir of Surrey, BC.  He is going to be a companion to Pedro, their yearling gelding.  As Aladdin is 5 years old, he will be able to teach Pedro some manners, while having someone to play with.  We noticed that already, as shortly after Aladdin was delivered, the two of them were playing "tag".  It looks like the two of them will give the Muir family many hours of enjoyment.

ROCKING PATCH PINK FLOYD - FOR SALE  $5500.00

"Floyd" was born August, 2008.  He stands 31" and is very correct.  He has a great temperament and would make a great addition to anyone's breeding program.  He carries a lot of red in his pedigree.  In 2009 he won his Yearling Jack Class at all three of his shows he entered.  This included the Miniature Donkey Extravaganza, Red Deer, Ab., Oregon Mule & Donkey Show, Eugene, Ore., and Northern California Miniature Donkey Show, Red Bluff, Ca. He is also very brave in nature, judging by his 2nd place finish in the Pre Green Trail Class, Red Bluff, Ca.

Regretfully, we have to sell him as we already have his 1/2 brother, Rocking Patch Pink Cadillac as our herd sire.

ROCKING PATCH BENTLEY - FOR SALE  $900.00 + gelding fee

Sire: Stoney Acres Prairies' Inferno

Dam: Perfection's Pink Ice

Bentley was born on April 9, 2010.  He was 22 1/2" in height at birth, and light brown.  He is Pink Floyd's full brother.  Nice and square, with good back line, he should become an excellent performance/driving donkey.  He will probably be gelded.  He will be available to take home in October, 2010 when he is weaned.

ROCKING PATCH CADILLAC CRUISER - FOR SALE $900.00 + gelding fee

Sire: Rocking Patch Pink Cadillac

Dam: Midge of Rocking Patch

He was born on April 14, 2010.  21" at birth, he is light brown like his brother, but looks like he might end out as a pink grey.  He does have black tips on his ears.  We are fortunate to have another correct donkey (we can thank P C for that).  By his looks, he will probably be a nice match to Bentley as a driving pair when the time comes.  He will also be available to take home in October, 2010.

ROCKING PATCH CIMARRON - FOR SALE $2000.00

Sire: Rocking Patch Pink Cadillac

Dam: Stoney Acres Tasha

Just after midnight May 5, 2010, Cimarron was born.  He was 21 3/4" at birth.  His colouring is either Dark Pink or Medium Red (time will tell).  Another square and correct boy, he is going to be an excellent show donkey.  He is going to be small (by all accounts).  He will be available to take home in November to the right owner.  He looks like he will be a good junior herd sire for the right breeder.  If not, he will be gelded with the appropriate asking price.

STONEY ACRES COPPER-THORN - SOLD

"Copper" as we affectionately call him is a four year old (June 2005) Chestnut gelding.  He has a super personality and is really eager to please.  We think that he could make a wonderful performance and/or driving donkey.  He has the potential to be very competitive in the show ring if you so desire.  His training is well underway.

Copper was purchased by Cherie Kramer, Abbotsford, BC.  His job will be to keep "Coupe" in line as they grow up together.

ROCKING PATCH COUPE de VILLE - SOLD

This lovely little guy was Pink Cadillac's first foal along with Rocking Patch Mercedes.  They were both born May 11, 2009.  He is a great little light sorrel, square and correct.  He has that slight mischievous attitude that has become synonymous with P C and his male relatives.  He should end out as a great performance animal or perfect companion. 

We are pleased to announce that "Coupe" was purchased by Cherie Kramer, Abbotsford, BC.  She loved his attitude and is going to make him a performance show donkey.

                                                  ~~~~~~~~~

ROCKING PATCH MERCEDES - SOLD

Mercedes has been sold, with, reluctanly her mother, WV Jasmine, who was Sue's first donkey purchased.  However, they have gone to a fantastic setting in an equestrian centre in Langley, BC where they not only have the run of the back yard and common area, they are being used for the centre's child's day camp where children aged 8-13 get first hand learning about care and grooming of equine animals.  What could be better for these two social butterflies than constant attention from people.

This little cutie was born on the same day as "Coupe" on May 11, 2009.  She will be light brown in colour and is just as nice as her brother.  She is becoming a princess, the type of donkey that will thrive on attention and will give back as much as she gets.  Under 21" at birth, we think she will level out around 33".                              

This 1 1/2 yr old gelding (Jan '10) is just a little sweety.  When we rescued him he was near death due to malnutrition.  He is now well fed, happy and has been gelded.  He has become quite the little charmer, and has made a friend of our Junior Herd Sire, Rocking Patch Pink Floyd.  They play constantly.  Due to his lack of proper food in his first 4 months, we're not sure how tall he will get, but probably will get to 31"-32" in height. 

We are happy to say that Teddy has found a new home in Nakusp, BC.  Len & Linda Synder were looking for a companion for their 6 yr. old gelding "Pedro", and within an hour of arrival, the two of them were playing and getting along quite well. (A thunderstorm, with rain and lightning probably helped).  Teddy will love the area of the western side of the Rockies, and will go for walks with Len & Linda like they have done with Pedro.

BUTCH, CASSIDY & JENNIE - PLACED

These 3 lovely standard donkeys were received from a couple, who owned a small acreage, but sold their property after 50 years.  The mom, who is near 40 yrs. and her two gelding sons, aged 14 and 16 had to find a new home as their owners did not want them to go to auction or worse.  We were able to place them with a rescue farm outside of Kelowna, BC where they will have fun with the other donkeys on site.  A good ending for all.
