Welcome to Diamond Jims LongEars Acres
Description
It all started in 1982 with the adoption of our first Mustang from the BLM corrals it Palomino Valley, NV. At that time, the adoption fee for the horses was $200. Shortly after the adoption, the BLM decided to go back to the $125. adoption fee. We were issued a refund of the difference but instead of taking it in cash, we decided to drive down to Kingman, AZ and choose a burro.
We chose a pink jenny and named her "Chantilly Lady" (Tilly for short). She soon gave birth to a sweet little jack foal that we named "Tilly’s Tumbleweed". That was it. We were hooked for life. We lived in the foothills of the Black Mountains that border Las Vegas, NV on the south side and had very few neighbors and could just open our gate and have free access to the mountains. We rode our horses constantly and our burros always went along. We never used lead ropes on them or anything. They just always followed along. We never trained them to do anything special or expected them to do anything. They were strictly pets.
After many, many job-related moves in between, we finally came to FL in 1993 and were able to stay. We now have the place of our dreams and a permanent home for our donkeys. Ours is a family operation where all help in every aspect of the farm. All our stock is family friendly and our babies are all handled by everyone from birth. We have quite a few rescued or adopted donkeys that will be permanent residents at our farm. Their stories are on the "Current Residents" page on this site.
