Big Sky Burro is a labor of Donkey Love, I run it myself, with the help of my husband at events that require two handlers. Summer is extremely busy for us, most days we don't get into the house until dark. My day job is not Big Sky Burro, but it's still within the service industry. I often work 12+ hr days during this season, if not year round. If you do not receive a response right away, please be patient. If you are booked with me, I have you on the calendar, I will be at your event. Future bookings will be dependent on my day job schedule as it is my primary source of income.
Daisy is a nineteen year old BLM burro. I purchased her from a gal in Rio Linda, CA April of 2009. Her BLM holding pen was Litchfield, near Susanville, CA.
Daisy enjoys outings, she is a very forward and brave donkey. She will do almost anything I ask of her. She responds to pressure very well and can ride/drive in a halter. You know you're 'in' with her when she'll let you cradle and cuddle her head. She is a refined girl and has the cutest little bray.
Rocky is a twenty year old BLM donkey from San Bernadino, CA.
I originally met Rocky at the Longears Cele'bray'tion put on by the Hole in the Head Gang Equine Rescue, in Artois, CA, I fell in love with him instantly, and he was for sale! Unfortunately at that time in my life I could not afford his purchase price. He was soon bought by a nice couple out in Fairfield, CA. A few years passed and the gal that ran the rescue contacted me, Rocky needed a home. She knew how badly I wanted him prior and called me first. Needless to say I jumped on the opportunity and went and picked him up (2012). It's been an awesome journey with him since.
Unlike Daisy, Rocky LOVES grooming, he'll even get in line for seconds. He's a sweet boy, he can be slightly spooky about water, water bowls and sometimes his own shadow. But he is a quiet and honest donkey.
I'm Lacy, I am the proud owner of Rocky and Daisy donkeys. I love sharing with people the true nature of donkeys and hope to make the world just little bit better for them through understanding and education. I absolutely love any time I get to spend with donkeys. They slow you down and remind you to be present.
I am also an artist in my very small amount of free time. I primarily work in graphite, but I have been exploring the world of printmaking and hand caved stamps.
