 Donkey Training June 3, 2008
This book is very informative and one of a few donkey books on the market today. Well written with various pictures when needed to illustrate a point or show a procedure. I would recomend this book to anyone who has or is thinking of having a donkey.
 Very nice! January 2, 2008

I purchased this book as a gift for my father in law. He loved it! It was very well done and he really enjoyed it.
A Classic The First day It was Released! July 8, 2007

Meredith Hodges is a rare human being. A woman with amazing patience and love for her Donkeys and Mules. A deep understanding of their psychology and physical needs enables her to turn these amazingly intelligent, misunderstood and often ignored animals into equestrian eventer's, able to grace any Gymkhana or Show jumping event. She has turned dreams into reality then generously shared the wealth of her knowledge with us in a way that anyone can understand and follow. This is a classic handbook for any person wishing to raise and bring on their mules and donkeys for competition. The step by step photos are easy to follow and copy! Sometimes the text may assumes more than the readers is capable of understanding. But over reading helps solve this problem, I have not yet found another book like it for sound academic content. I prize my signed copy. All students and practicing vets should own this book!

I found the book very disappointing. I have donkeys and given the books title assumed equal time would be given to donkeys and mules. Instead only one of 31 chapters dealt with donkeys and as the author pointed out there are major differences between the two. Since I don't have mules, I can't comment on those chapters. I did enjoy the pictures.

I bought this book for my daughter in law for Christmas. She has wanted it for 2 years. They show one mule and have a 2 yr old that she will start training this spring. She has had nothing but nice things to say about the book. Ordering from Amazon is always a good experience.
