Pure American Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys

U.S.A / NZ Registered Pure American Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys with outstanding pedigrees (Est 1972)

At Clovercrest we have been loving and breeding donkeys for over 30 years. They are more than a hobby, they are our passion. We are now dedicated to the American Miniature Mediterranean Donkey (AMMD). We believe they are one of the sweetest animals on earth and the ultimate Lifestyle Pet! We are very proud of the foals we breed and are focused on breeding stocky, compact little donkeys with good conformation.

Our donkeys are raised with love to become part of our family or yours.

Our Jacks

Our senior herdsire

Riverside Sparky Magnito

(imp. USA), 32" sorrel jack.

He is a well balanced, stocky jack with a super temperament and old bloodlines going back to the original imports into the USA from Sardinia. Sparky has done extremely well in the show ring winning numerous Champion and Supreme Champion Show ribbons and Donkey & Mule Soc. of NZ awards.

Sparky is now available for stud service to approved jennies under 38"
(fee $1000).

Our Junior Herdsire

Cyders Spartacus

(imp. USA), 30" Dark Russet Red

Sparty is a correct affectionate stocky young jack. Many prominent sorrel and black lines run through his pedigree. He also has an outstanding Old pedigree that goes back to many of the original imports in to the USA from Sardinia. Spartacus is doing very well in the show ring and his first babies are now on the ground. We are thrilled with their quality.

Our Jennies

We have a small herd of exceptional jennies ranging from grey dun, sorrel, dark brown to black to compliment our jacks. No effort was spared to import high quality stock with impressive pedigrees which include some of the best miniature bloodlines in North America.

Chateaus Sweet Dewette was our very first pure American jenny. Then we imported Ass-pirin Acres Showbaby and Hiwest Pizzaz.
Our last two imported jennies are Cyder's Marmalade and Cyder's Red Violet. We have also kept daughters of some of the jennies for our breeding programme.
