Meet the J-Bar Farms Donkeys!

I have been concentrating on the sorrel end of my breeding program. There are young jennets Makana (sorrel) and Hekili (dark brown bay)...take a look! 2010 stellar jack prospect Menehune is stacking up to be the jack you're looking for! . As prelude to a move to Hawai`i, I am offering the entire breeding herd at this time. Individuals (jennets & jacks, not the geldings) or one whopping package deal for the entire bunch, all serious offers are being looked at. Good homes with at least one other equid and references a must.

The J-Bar Farms donkeys are loved daily as individuals, and are on a natural nutrition and health care program. There are some great donkeys available here...including my foundation herd. In fact, the entire breeding herd is now offered for sale as a package to an approved sorrel breeding home. Be sure and email me with any questions (additional photos available) and thanks for your interest... Candi Donkeys@theHorseWorks.com

RVB Cannon (HOF) (reference sire) Click for pedigree

Cannon is my great 33.5 inch driving donkey, born in 1989. He was 1996 NMDA National Grand Champion Green Performance Donkey and sire of the 1995 NMDA National First Place Miniature Foal J-Bar Farms' Luna. Cannon also took Reserve Hi-Point Jack at the 1997 Pacific Crest all-miniature donkey show. Cannon's excellent disposition and quiet manner make him a joy to be around. He is a very dark brown bay and a color producer. Cannon is now retired from breeding, but he will always get top billing! Color genetics: BbAaCCdd(Ee)ggRnrn(oo)ttSS.

Cannon LOVES to pull! His favorite sport is snigging, or log pulling as it's called down under. He also really enjoys parades and giving cart rides to kids. Candi often donates the proceeds from cart rides to donkey welfare funds for care of rescued donkeys in the Northwest. For lots more photos of Cannon, go to the herdsire page.

Hickory Hill's JBF Red Sedona Sunset Click for pedigree

After a long search, the sorrel breeding program is coming back on track! Sedona is a gorgeous dark sorrel, born 10/22/03 at only 19". Mature height 32-7/8". He has such a soft personality and solid conformation! I didn't think I'd ever find a jack like Cannon in disposition, but Sedona is really growing into a wonderful herdsire. His foal crops are impressive, with improvements made over their dams in smaller size and better conformation. Sedona's bloodlines (My World, Sunset Acres, Red Baron) are clicking well with the sorrel lines I have in my jennets (Red Baron, Winchester, Lazy N) and wonderful red babies grace my pastures! Sedona is standing at stud at J-Bar Farms (fee $400).

For more photos of Sedona and his sire/grandsire, go to the herdsire page.

~Jacks~

J-Bar Farms' Menehune FOR SALE!

This stunning tiny rose dun jack out of J-Bar Farms Ilihia by HH JBF Red Sedona Sunset. Menehune is a very compact, square, friendly jack prospect that will surely turn heads at shows! If you are breeding for disposition and correct conformation in a small size, this is the jack you need. Menehune will likely remain under 30 inches when mature and is ready for his new breeding home.

~Geldings~

J-Bar Farms' Kokomo SOLD!

Kokomo is a gorgeous dark brown/red bay out of J-Bar Farms' Mahina Iki by Sedona. He is show quality... don't wait if you're looking for a great gelding with style! Package deal with `Ehu Iki as his lifelong pal.

J-Bar Farms' `Ehu Iki SOLD!

Cute little red gelding out of S&L's Salome by Sedona is ready and waiting for his new adventure. Extremely friendly and level-headed, this guy would be a wonderful lifetime companion and driving donkey. He'd prefer to go to his new home with his best buddy Kokomo (special deal together). His name means Little Red.

J-Bar Farms' Cannon's Kahuna

This amazingly sweet little gelding is full brother to J-Bar Farms' Blue Moon, J-Bar Farms' Naniloa, (see Sold Donkeys page) and J-Bar Farms' Momi. He is a very dark brown bay like his sire RVB Cannon (HOF). Kahuna will be retained at J-Bar Farms as companion for Sedona and Cannon. He has the wonderful Cannon disposition as well as his own deep magic. Kahuna is draftier than his sire. Photo taken July 2003, age two, height 30.5 inches.

~Jennets~

Note on breeding status: I don't believe in making my jennets "baby factories." They have one or two foals and then get a rest for a year or two. This practice extends their productive lives and protects their general health and wellbeing. If a jennet is listed as "bred" it means she has been exposed to the jack. If listed as "confirmed in foal" it means she was vet-checked at least 120 days from breeding and was in foal at that time.

S&L's Salome FOR SALE!

Salome is a nice 33-5/8" sorrel jennet born 2/7/01 by 758's Tanah Merah (34" sorrel) out of 758's Joy Luck (33" brown). Salome has done well in her Oregon home and is now being offered for sale. She is a very sweet and soft soul (Salome means "tranquil") and will be a wonderful addition to any herd. Salome foaled a bright red bay-ish jack by Sedona on 8/1/11.

J-Bar Farms' Mahina Iki (Little Moon)

Click for pedigree

Here she is, the first daughter of LN JBF Red Moon born in 2000. Mahina was 22 inches tall at birth, a dark rose dun of 32.25" mature height. She carries the sorrel gene and is a proven color producer with rose dun, dark brown bay, and very dark sorrel offspring. Mahina is a very compact and well-built little jennet with personality plus, now grown into the herd matriarch. She was confirmed in foal by ultrasound at 6 weeks, due June 2012 with a Sedona foal. (Photo taken 8/1/11)

J-Bar Farms' Ilihia

"Ilihia" means stricken with awe or thrilled, as with beauty. I've been breeding little donkeys for 17 years, and I've never been so taken with a foal! This stunning 22" rose dun was born 5/26/05 out of Alex by My World Vincent.

(Ilihia) has such balance and strength throughout, it's difficult to pick just one great thing to say about her. This little girl has the best pelvic structure I've seen, great legs and strong clean joints. Her 2010 rose dun jack is the most correct and tiny yearling I've ever seen!

Photo 8/1/11, 6 years old. This little girl is a keeper for sure! Mature height 30 inches.

J-Bar Farms' Makana FOR SALE!

Kamalani has gifted me with Sedona's first foal on 4/23/07, and my first sorrel jennet foal! Makana means "gift, and she's a beauty, and the culmination of my sorrel dreams. I've waited 10 years for a sorrel jennet, and here she is. Makana has grown into a lovely balanced jennet, being bred now to Chery's My Mister Dillon and available very soon to her forever home.

J-Bar Farms' Mahina Lokenani (Beautiful Rose Moon)

I'm so pleased to present another LN JBF Red Moon daughter to the world! Born 6/8/07 (photo at two days old), Lokenani is indeed a beautiful rose in my herd. I took a chance in 2006 and hauled Salome up to eastern Washington for breeding to Red Moon on an overnight trip when her foal Maluhia was a month old. One breeding produced this graceful little girl. Lokenani is bred to Sedona for 2012.

J-Bar Farms' Hekili FOR SALE!

Hekili is out of J-Bar Farms' Hula by Sedona. She is a beautiful show quality dark brown/red bay, quiet and soft in disposition. She is being bred now for a 2012 foal.
