Thanks for the suggestions Mark. I've always wanted a mammoth donkey and hadn't considered that now (soon) might be the time. I always thought it would be my retirement mount... but maybe I'm just about there?
Trouble is, the only donkeys that are common around here are the minis and standards. Might have to bring one up from your neck of the woods, if they are more common there.
Things to consider. Thanks
