NMDA National Champion Herd sire for sale. Hill Country Miniatures is concentrating on breeding spots, blacks and sorrels, so here is a chance to purchase NMDA National Halter Champion Hill Country Miniatures Poquito for a cheap price. Poquito is gorgeous, balanced, tiny, dark brown, 30", a proven breeder, and absolutely loves people. He is a great ambassador for the breed, and he loves children(having been my 6 year old daughter's favorite since they both were little). No vices, will hand or pasture breed, and throws tiny, correct babies. We also can shoot some video if you are interested. We are traveling to the Colorado and Ohio Select sales in July, and will transport him to either of those sales for free. $4000.

Reserve National Halter Champion for sale. Hill Country Miniatures is selling most of our brown donkeys to concentrate on breeding sorrels, spots and black donkeys, so we are selling our wonderful herd sire, Country Music's Jimmy Dean. Jimmy is about 31", black/brown with bright white highlights, very stocky, and has a balanced body, flat top line and a gorgeous Arabian head. At our farm, if a jennet is difficult to breed, she goes with Jimmy, and he gets her pregnant every time, usually the first month. He also can straighten up even the worst of legs. He was the 2004 NMDA Reserve National Champion, and was shown extensively, never placing under 5th in the tough Texas show circuit. He is also very sweet, with a huge heart. If you want a jack to meet you at the gate every day for scratches, and then gently breed the jennets, Jimmy is your man. We are traveling to the select sales in Colorado and Ohio in July, and can transport him that far for free. We can send video if you would like. He is offered for $3500, which is what his foals usually sell for.

Little Bonfire is exactly what we were hoping for, showy, short bodied, with super straight legs and a level topline. Peggaty never disappoints, and Bonfire is as nice as her full sister, Autumn, who sold to England for almost $10,000. Her brother won Reserve Champion this year at the Houston Livestock show, as a YEARLING, and is currently for sale. She will join our show string, and later our breeding program. Jennets like this do not come around very often.

Sire: Ass-Pirin Acres Magma, 30" Dark Sorrel

Dam: Country Music's Lisa Hartman Black, 30" DarkBrown

Hill Country Miniatures Code Blu is a very tiny, stocky, correct jack that is destined to be a herdsire. He also has a refined, Arabian head with a balanced body to go with it. Many sorrel donkeys tend to be taller and coarser, and if you want your herd to be more refined, Code blue is your man. He is dark brown with an extensive sorrel tone, and genetically can throw red 50% of the time. He also is one of the sweetest jacks that have been born here, and still loves to be picked up and carried, at three months of age.
He is offered for $2500 at this time, and the price will increase as he ages.

Sire: World Champion Circle C Obsession

Dam: Short Assets Samara

Little Na'vi was born in the late evening, after we had gone to see Avatar, hence her name. She is a very stocky heads up jennet with a super white belly and chrome that extends way down those stocky, straight legs. She has a white nose, and white eyeliner, and they really show off her short head. It is hard to tell with her foal coat if she will be black with cross, or smoky black-only time will tell. Whatever color she is, she is very stocky, flashy and correct, like most Obsession foals. Samara's other two sisters are on the show circuit, and this little girl should follow in their hoofsteps.

Blessing is a very stocky, but petite, dark brown jennet that is the half sister to the 2009 NMDA National Champion Jack, Hill Country Miniaures Poquito.

She posesses a deep rump, stocky legs, short head and willing attitude that will make showing a joy, but she could also be a great pet and brood jennet. With a pedigree like that, who could go wrong?

Dam: Designer Donkeys LN Exceptional

Hill Country Miniatures Posh is a very feminine, stylish jennet. She has a small white star on her forhead, and is delicately boned with a level back, straight legs and a beautiful head. she is one of those jennnets that everyone asks "who is that?" when they come to the farm. She should be a great donkey since her father was a winning show donkey in Canada, and her mother is Itsy Bitsy Burro Company's Bronson's full sister, and he was a National Champion. She was supposed to be a keeper but with the economy...... She is offered for $3500.00, unless enough other donkeys sell and we can keep her. She sure would make pretty babies with Obsession....Sigh.
