We invite you to come to our place here in Oklahoma. Spend a day, or even a few days riding each and every one of this outstanding group of mammoth saddle donkeys we have put together for your consideration. Please include your phone number when emailing us.
Many people ask the "goes out alone" question. To us, that's part of being a broke riding donkey. When you see any donkey on our website advertised as "BROKE TO RIDE," this will absolutely be part of the package.
The ages of each and every riding donkey that we list on our Facebook page and here on our website have been given to us by the veterinarian who comes to draw blood for the Coggins test. It has been our rule here for the past 20 years, without exception.
We are busy training more saddle donkeys!
Gringo is now completely trained and ready to go.
Gringo
Gringo - Is a 10 year old dark brown gelding with a stripe (when all of his hair grows back from being body clipped) that is 58 inches tall. Gringo is a truly mammoth saddle donkey that has passed al of our requirements and is ready to go on our Facebook and website (www.garrettjackstock.com) to be sold. We took Gringo to Bishop Mule Days in California with us where he was ridden by 20+ different people and carried them all in style! If a riding donkey will ride in a total confusion with big hitch wagons, golf carts, mopeds, water trucks, and people walking everywhere he will ride anyplace.
Smokey
Smokey -Is a 10 year old dark gray gelding that is 54 inches tall. Smokey is a deliberate and very safe riding donkey that just returned from Bishop Mule Days in California. He made the trip with us so we could put ANYBODY in the saddle that wanted to ride a donkey and maybe for the first time ever. He rode flawlessly by water trucks, big wagon hitches, dogs, golf carts, and people walking everywhere. Believe me, he has been tested! Of course he stands quietly to saddle and mount, goes out alone, leads good, etc., etc., etc. If you have been looking for a very even tempered, safe and docile saddle donkey this might be him.
Bosco
Bosco - Is a 6 year old dark gray gelding with a stripe with tiger striped legs and is 52 1/2 inches tall. She is stout enough to carry an adult and safe enough for most kids. Here is a really nice riding donkey and well built to boot. We have absolutely no problem with her standing calmly to saddle and mount. Although she has plenty of energy and is willing to travel out at good steady pace she will be totally under control. Bosco goes out alone and never looks back. She is traffic safe, loads good, leads like you want one to and is a very nice saddle donkey. As always we invite you and your family to come to our farm and ride Bosco or any of our saddle donkeys and stay as long as you want in order to see for yourself how they ride.
Newly
Newly - Is a 6 year old dark brown gelding with striped shoulders that is 55 inches tall. Newly is a mammoth, double stout, good looking, well built, broke to ride saddle donkey that we think is a 10 out of 10. He has a deep wide chest, good bone, big hip and is halter class quality. Newly leads at your shoulder, easily and quickly trailer loads, goes out alone, is traffic safe, has a pleasant smooth and rapid walk, he has a smooth trot and he willingly lopes when you ask him to. One lady told me Newly looks like the mammoth riding donkey in my dreams! He is an all day donkey that is willing to climb almost straight up with a 200 pound rider. For sure he stands quietly to saddle and mount and will truly make somebody's donkey dream come true.
Bodie
Bodie - Is a 14 year old dark red gelding that is 55 inches tall. First off, the picture shows gray but Bodie has been freshly body clipped and will have a dark red natural coat when his gray color is gone. Bodie is an excellent riding donkey that has plenty of bone to carry a load. He has a wide chest and straight legs that add strength as well. He has, like all of the other ones, passed all of our tests like lead, load, traffic safe, goes out alone, stands quietly to saddle and mount, crosses water, and is good with cleaning his feet. If you have been wishing for searching for a mature, safe, well built saddle donkey, you are invited to come to our farm and ride for yourself.
Ricky Jack
SOLD
Ricky Jack - Is a six year old roan gelding that is 55 1/2 inches tall. Ricky Jack has also been recently body clipped but I assure you that he will soon grow his red roan hair again. I could talk about Ricky Jack all day long. This really nice saddle doney will make you a keeper donkey. To save some time and ink, I will just say that he will do anything and everything you could ask a really nice trail riding donkey to do. His walk and trot are excellent and he is more willing to lope if he is in a group. Please feel free and encouraged to come ride Ricky Jack or any of our saddle donkeys for yourself.
Peanut
Peanut
- Is back home and we are excited to have him in our lineup. Peanut is an eight-year-old gray gelding that is 49 inches tall. Peanut came to us from Northern Missouri with two others. He is absolutely the most outstanding small riding Donkey we have had in 25 to 30 years. He is nimble, quick footed, sure, footed, and has a big motor and an even bigger heart. Not only is he extremely classy in looks but attitude as well. He has a very fast walk and has the smoothest and fastest trot Anyone could ask for and he easily lopes out when asked. He is the favorite ride for my son-in-law Terry Asbill who is running the riding donkey part of the farm. Peanut is a saddle Donkey that will ride totally under control at all times, leads, trailer loads, stands quietly to saddle and mount, goes out alone, is good with his feet, etc., etc., etc. When you come to ride him for yourself you will likely be amazed at his total package. If you have been looking for a smaller riding donkey, that will absolutely not let you fall behind on the trail here he is.
Ferdinand
Ferdinand - Is a 3 1/2 year old gray stripe shouldered gelding that is 56 inches tall and still growing. This truly mammoth saddle donkey has all of the tools and his whole life ahead of him. He has a big motor and will use it if you ask him to. Because of this we do not recommend him for a beginner or a timid rider. He operates under total control at all times but you will not have to worry about being left behind on the trail. Each and every requirement for posting him has been met like standing quietly to saddle and mount, going out alone, and trailer loading easily. He walks, trots and lopes upon request. He crosses water, leads good, is traffic safe and this mammoth riding donkey has been ridden down city streets with kids shooting baskets, riding skate boards,etc., as well as on the rough trails. Ferdinand will make the right rider a great ride.
