Ears and Emprise: Wild, Then Captive, Now Domestic

By Andrea Krebsbach and Tess Zorba

When I was making plans to bring home my first wild burro, I wanted to read all about it. I wanted to know other peoples' journeys, what to expect, how the donkey would differ from a horse. All I found were books on training donkeys born into domesticity, or how to train a mule to ride under saddle. I found some interesting books about rescued donkeys, but they still didn't quite check all of the boxes that I'd hoped to find. So, I stumbled my way through gentling my first burro, and then created the novel I wished I'd been able to read before taking Noel home. It's far from an expert opinion that you'll find in training books and manuals, but it's a firsthand account of my journey as a first-time burro owner. Spoiler: I would do it all over again Whether you're thinking of adopting a BLM burro, you have a donkey, you admire long ears from afar, or you're someone who doesn't want to get up close and personal with animals but enjoys hearing others' tales, I hope you find everything you're looking for in this book.
