Taming a Wild Donkey (and the Techniques I Learned)

Описание: In this video, I share my personal journey of taming a 17 year old wild donkey, and the valuable techniques I learned along the way. From creating curiosity in the donkey to establishing trust, I reveal the steps I took to gentle this wild burro. You'll learn how to approach and interact with a feral donkey, and how to introduce halter training in a safe and gentle manner. Whether you're an experienced horse handler or just starting out, you'll gain valuable insights into the world of gentling wild equines. Join me on this incredible adventure and discover the rewards of building a strong bond between humans and animals.

Check out the play lists for these 7 or choose a playlist to see training for different topics.

If you are looking for full length videos check out the Mustang and Burro Comparison Series I am recording (at the request of a subscriber) all training sessions for “Doctor” and “Stein”. My hope is seeing how the training goes will help you in your own journey. We brought home 3 wilds on this trip, their names are Doctor, Frank, and Stein. 😃

❤️ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL❤️

My name is MaryJo and this is my experience as an everyday person learning how to train mustangs and wild Burros. The first donkey I ever got I did not even want, Shamus, came with a mule my husband purchased. Shamus did not know anything when we got him but…after a while I decided to try and train him. I had never trained an equine before and decided to try anyway. He is just a donkey right? Well I fell in love with this dude, I am so grateful this guy fell into my life and I had the courage to try to train him. Now Shamus goes on trail rides, has rode in AZ, ride in a parade, packed out hunting. He is one of the most AMAZING ANIMALS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I am truly grateful for him!
