Group Clinics

From Wild to Mild — A Burro Day of Learning

Our first small-group clinic was held Saturday, September 12, 2026.

About the Day

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a hands-on morning with the burros.

On a beautiful September morning, a small group of donkey lovers gathered at the ranch for a discussion and demonstration based class — seeing what goes into gentling a wild BLM burro, learning about their nutritional needs, farrier and vet needs, how to properly keep and care for them, and fun activities to do with burros.

As always, the burros set the pace. Between demonstrations there was plenty of time for questions, quiet connection, and the kind of slow, meaningful moments that only happen on donkey time.

What we covered

  • —What goes into gentling a wild BLM burro
  • —Burro nutrition, farrier, and vet needs
  • —How to properly keep and care for your own donkey
  • —Fun activities to do with burros
  • —Time for questions and quiet connection with the herd
