Description

"Violet, The Donkey, And Her Goats"

Yvette and Robert Trevorrow, owners of Rancho Toledano Paso Fino Farm In California have this to say about their beloved guard donkey they lovingly called Violet because of the hue of her coat at night.

Violet was our goats' companion and guard animal. If there was a threat you could hear her bells as she pushed her herd back to safety. There would be a thunderous sound as 50 or more goats raced over some hill with Violet behind them with her worry call.

Our horse ranch sprawls hundreds of acres. The goats roamed freely with Violet all day, but always to their own paddock by 4 pm with Violet pushing the stragglers.

She insisted that morning feeds for her large herd be timely. One could not go by her goat paddock without some disparaging warning of dissatisfaction. Her charges were always first.

She was always present. If not in the goat paddock at night, she was outside their surrounds on guard. Early mornings she walked the aisles of the barn or rested in the arena while goats grazed nearby. A fixture on the ranch.

We bought Violet from a farm in Iowa when we built our ranch. We were told she was 10 but quickly realized that she was twice the age. Donkeys can live a very long life. We thought she would outlive us.

There is something so endearing about a donkey. You need to work hard to earn their trust. They are stubborn and independent, but ever present and so easy to love. Anyone who visited expected to see Violet wandering. Her loss was deeply felt by everyone.
