The Donkey Companion

This audible is more helpful than it looked, at first blush. To be honest, donks are simple to take care of and I was a sensitive new owner. Whatever real subjects I've required returned have been here in this book.

This book is so informative

This audible is so informative that hubby followed it cover to cover - and we don't have a donkey. We are new mule owners and this audible provided the insight missing from many books on animals.

Buy this book!

I would suggest this audible for donkey enthusiasts-whether they be beginners with donkeys or experienced. Not many people know donkeys--and Dion Rosser has taken the time to ask professional donkey trainers the key aspects to how they train and work with donkeys to be successful. Great information, stories, and knowledge in this book!
