Children

• Teach your child how to be around equines.
• When choosing an equine for your child, do not choose a donkey jack.
• Do not choose an equine that is an alpha figure in the herd or one with aggressive behavior.
• Choose a mule or donkey with a quiet disposition for your child.
• Encourage children to do tasks around the barn to learn more about their equines’ behavior traits.
• Consider giving a homeless donkey, burro or mule a chance to be in your child’s care.
• Donkeys tend to have less issues and tend to be more sedate rescue animals than mules.
