Dear Donkey Enthusiast,                                                               January 2009

We are pleased to invite you to The 7th Annual Great American Miniature Donkey Sale, a select sale featuring quality, registered miniature donkeys.  The Sale will take place on Saturday, August 1, 2009, at 12:30 PM, at the Warren County Fairgrounds, next to the Lebanon Raceway, in Building C, in Lebanon, Ohio. We hope you plan to attend.

These miniature donkeys will be selected from those offered for consideration. Top breeders are consigning their best, as these donkeys publicly represent their farm and breeding program. It would literally take you many days, and thousands of miles, to view an asssortment of available, quality stock like you will see represented at the Sale.

The selected miniature donkeys represent diverse bloodlines, great conformation, and a variety of sizes, colors & ages to attract breeders, show people, and donkey & equine lovers everywhere. Full information on each, including pictures (as consignors make them available), may be found on our web page, www.donkeys.net.

There is something for everyone here, whether you are an experienced breeder, or just getting started. Jennets include; yearlings, coming 2 year olds, mature jennets, bred jennets, and jennets with foals on the side. A trained driving gelding with cart & harness is also being offered. Donkey tack and gifts will be available. Whether you are looking for a single jennet, a jennet with foal, brood jennets for your breeding program, or a loving pet, you are assured of finding only quality miniature donkeys at this sale.

This Donkey Sale is more than just an auction; it is an event, a ‘happening’. Donkey enthusiasts everywhere look forward to events such as this and we expect a large turnout from across the Continent. It is an opportunity for folks, both those with years of experience, and those first exploring miniature donkeys, to get together, share experiences, learn from each other, have some fun, make new friends, renew old friendships, and, oh yes, see, bid on, and purchase some of the finest quality miniature donkeys in North America.

We hope you plan to attend this year's Great American Miniature Donkey Sale. We are confident you will enjoy it.

Thank You for Your Support,

Martha & Dowell Howard
