Charlie is one of the sweetest animals I've ever met. He is a
sincere, sweet guy. Charlie came to join our family as I was
looking for a guard animal to watch over my little pygmy
goats. I noticed the ad for Charlie and went to meet him. He
lived at a horse breeding/training facility near Didsbury. It was
love at first sight! The next day my Dad and I went to pick
him up. When we stopped the trailer in Sundre Charlie's
"hee-haws" rang out throughout the streets!! What a character.
Charlie has taken his guard donkey job very seriously.
Whenever he hears a vehicle drive in or sees someone walking
towards our yard he lets out a really loud
'HEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAW'. No one can sneak past him!
Charlie has been ridden by small children in the past and we
hope he will be buddies with our son, William. I am also
hoping to start driving Charlie in harness later this year. That
should be quite an adventure!
Here is Charlie looking very statuesque in the sunset with his
pals Everett (bay) and Rudy (palomino pinto).
