Our Miniature Donkey Jennets at K and K Ranch in Brownsboro, Texas

Welcome to K and K Ranch Miniature Donkeys and Bucking Bulls!

Our Jennets

We have spent a good deal of time selecting our jennets. Most of these jennets were raised on our ranch as yearlings and possess the qualities we are looking for. We look for characteristics that will cross well with our jacks. Our goal is to produce donkey's with excellent conformation and movement, good bone, straight legs, and an over all balanced frame. We place importance on a good, sound disposition, and feel this is important to the breed.

Gray & White Spotted Jennet
DOB: 10/17/04
Birth Height: 21¼"

Sire: Circle C Highlite, 32" Brown/Gray/White Spot
      Grand Sire: Desperado of Circle C, 29" Light Brown

      Grand Sire: Hartman's Trenton, 33½" Few Spot White
      Grand Dam: R&D D&H Milly, 33½" Brown/Gray-Dun

The minute StarLite was born I knew she was special. Her dam has done well in the show ring, and StarLite has the conformation and build that I am breeding donkeys for. Plus she loves people. StarLite has a beautiful head like her sire, the most perfect set of legs I could ask for, and is built like a little tank. She will be shown until she is old enough to join our brood jennets.

News Flash!! Her first time shown StarLite wins her age division halter class and then stands ACOSA Grand National Jennet at The Great Celebration Mule & Donkey Show July, 2005!

News Flash! Starlite placed 2nd in her halter class at the 2006 NMDA Nationals!! There were around 30 entries in this class.

News Flash! Starlite wins 1st in the 2 & 3 Year Old Jennet class and stands Grand Champion Jennet at the 2007 NMDA Nationals in Oregon!!

StarLite is bred to Arcadians Yogi for a September 2009 foal. This will be her first foal.
Update! Starlite foaled a gorgeous spotted jennet! See Wish Upon A Star on our foal page now!

DOB: 6/01/00

Sire: Hartman Donkey's Trenton, 33½" Few Spot White
Grand Sire: Rockbridge Marcus, 33" Gray/White Spot
Grand Dam: Hartman Donkey's Lass

Dam: R&D D&H Milly, 33½" Brown/Gray-Dun
Grand Sire: Rainbow's Switzer, 33" Brown
Grand Dam: DMF Dottie, 31½" Gray-Dun

Stolen Lottie, as our webmaster calls her since I bought her before she could, is as sweet a jennet as I've ever seen. Her nickname is "Rooty" because she will root under your arm until you stop and pet her. Lottie is a nice drafty little jennet, with a beautiful head, great markings, a nice round rear end, wide chest, and straight legs. She is one of my favorite jennets, not just because of her personality, but because of her conformation and what she has produced for me.

News Flash!!! Lottie was Reserve National ACOSA Champion Jennet at the Nationals in Shelbyville, Tennessee, June 29th, 2002, with 19 entries in her class!! She was 2nd in 2003 in the 2 and over spotted jennet class.

Lottie foaled a gorgeous spotted jennet, KKR StarLite, on 10/17/04 out of Circle C HighLite. StarLite will be shown and retained for our breeding program. Update! Starlite was the 2005 ACOSA National Champion Jennet. She placed 2nd at the 2006 NMDA Nationals in a very large class (around 30) in Yearling Jennets at Halte.

Lottie was bred back to Flight of Fancy Cardinal RG in March 2005. Lottie foaled a sorrel & white masked spotting factor jack, KKR High Roller. We have decided to geld Roller and will be retaining him to show. He is really nice!

Lottie has been bred to Arcadians Yogi for an October 2009 foal.

32" Brown Jennet
DOB: 7/13/00

Sire: PGF Peppercorn Jack, 29½" Brown
Grand Sire: My World Buster, 30¼" Dark Red (Sorrel)
Grand Dam: PGF Rhubarb, 31½" Gray-Dun

Dam: R&D D&H Cinderella, 32½" Black/White Spotted
Grand Sire: Hartman Donkey's Trenton, 33½" Brown/White Spot
Grand Dam: R&D D&H Lucy, 34" Gray-Dun

Cinderbelle is by far one of our favorites. Although she was spoiled when I got her, she is spoiled here too. I can't take all the credit. She would rather be with people than with other donkeys. Cinderbelle is just gorgeous. She has a beautiful head, exceptionally straight legs, tracking perfectly, and she shows lots of width in her chest. Thanks Windcrest Acres in Batavia, Ohio, for this great little donkey!

News Flash!! Cinderbelle was 4th in the NMDA 2 Year Old Jennet Class at the Nationals in Shelbyville, Tennessee, June 27th, 2002, with over 20 entries!!!

Cinderbelle was 5th at the State Fair of Texas Miniature Donkey Show September 29th, 2002, in the 2 Year Old & Over Jennet class with 20 entries!

Dallas Stare Fair September 2003: Cinderbelle won the Jennets 2 and Over Halter Class and came back to win Reserve Model Donkey of the show!

Cinderbelle foaled a tiny brown jack on 10/10/04 sired by Little Magic. He looks like an exact replica of his dam.

Update: KKR Hanky Panky wins Reserve Grand Champion Jack at the Calgary Stampede. Hank has numerous ribbons in trail and halter.

Cinderbelle was bred to Rowdy May 2005. In June of 2006 Cinderbelle foaled a black with no stripe jennet, KKR Midnight Harp. Harp is being retained to add to our breeding program. Harp will begin her show career in 2007.

CinderBelle foaled a beautiful black/brown jennet in October 2007, KKR Fancy That. Fancy is already winning in the show ring in both halter and trail.

Black Jennet
DOB: 10/27/07
Height: Immature

Sire: Sunset Acres Rowdy Yates, 32" Black no visible cross
      Grand Sire: Hartmans Donkey Trenton, 33½" Brown/White Spot
      Grand Dam: BJ Black Beauty, 32¾" Black

Dam: Windcrest Cinderbelle, 32" Dark Brown
      Grand Sire: PGF Peppercorn Jack, 29½" Brown
      Grand Dam: R&D D&H Cinderella, 32½" Dk Brown/White Spot

Fancy is one of my favorite babies. She is just like her mom in personality, and very sweet. She never meets a stranger. I took her to the Texas Shoot Out for her first show and she won the class out of 30 something entries. I have started her in obstacles and she is really doing well. Fancy is a well built little girl and I expect her to be a lot like her dam. She is wide bodied, with good bone and a pretty head. She is actually black when I keep her out of the sun. I'm looking forward to showing her over the next couple years before I add her to my herd.

      Grand Sire: Circle C Highlite, 32" Brown/Gray & /White Spotted
      Grand Dam: Engman's Lottie, 32" Brown/Gray/White Spot

This is Wishes. Her name is Wish Upon a Star, by Yogi & StarLite. And, yes, she is a tad bit spoiled already, but she came out like that. I promise. First day outside she ran and ran and ran, and ran some more. Her legs are all wet from the grass! Look at her black spot on her right hip. That's her birth mark!
