The first imported Miniature Mediterranean Donkey from America to Australia was our Sorrel Jack Riverside's Sparky Magnito of Asspirin Acres, who after a successful breeding program was sold to Clovercrest Stud in New Zealand. Our second imported Jack was Chateaus Millenium Romulus from New Zealand his sire being Lil"Half Pints Lil Caesar 11 IMP USA. This super fine boned Jack complimented Sparky's progeny, allowing the progression of our long term breeding program .Romulus has now been sold to Chris in NSW Our third imported Jack was Hickory Hills Cocoa Bean 28" from Texas USA. Cocoa with perfect conformation was purchased specifically to reduce the height of the above progeny. Once this was achieved Cocoa was sold to Chris in NSW . The most exciting moment of our breeding program to date, was the importing of our current Jack Heikens Ark Clint Mar from USA. This 4 year old PERFECTLY BALANCED JACK stands a mere 26.75" We have 10 magnificent tiny foals on the ground . Heights from17" to 19". In March 2010 we imported from Texas N & D's Lonestar Cowboy's Latigo a tiny broken coloured 26.5" 2 year old Jack . With this combination we consider MISSION ACCOMPLISHED................ NEWS FLASH NEW BLOODLINES NOW ADDED : COUNTRY MUSIC MARTY BROWN
