I beg to differ..... look at the pic again. If it was a mini donkey then the rider's feet would touch the floor. Even the smallest donkey in the picture is as tall as the waste of the donkey trainer. I agree that heavier people should not get on small donkeys but I don't see a problem with this picture. If you have rescued mini donkeys then you know the plight of so many horse and donkeys. At least this way they are very well cared for (look at the sleekness and their weight) and not in a sale barn getting sold for dog food or some farmers pasture never getting their hooves trimmed or vet care. From a miniture and standard donkey owner.

this is disgusting that an anmial is treat this way how could a school or college allow this to happen its a discrace i hope that the pore animals have been rescued and put out of this pathetic misary that it has to endure

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I raise miniature horses and have rescued miniature donkeys. These men pictured are way to big to be on those donkeys. The rule of thumb for miniature horses and donkeys is no more then 70 lbs. Those sure look like miniature donkeys to me. Those men should be ashamed of themselves and so should the person who rented them.
