Managed by Arthur & Karin, Pine Ridge is a 25 acre boutique farm nestled in the beautiful NSW Southern Highlands. At Pine Ridge we breed show winning American Miniature Mediterranean and standard Donkeys. We have a menagerie of animals that we love dearly: donkeys, alpacas, goats and chickens.
How our love for donkeys started: In April 2020 we welcomed our first two donkeys Fancy and Rosie to our farm. Fancy delivered our beautiful Bella in August 2020. Since bringing Fancy and Rosie home we have totally fallen in love with donkeys and are now specialising in breeding American Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys on a small scale.
Our goal is to produce a donkey with top conformation, temperament and colour.
Every one of our donkeys are our pets that we love, cherish and care for. They are handled, brushed and cared for on a daily basis and they are registered with DABSA (Donkey All Breeds Association).
We love sharing our little slice of paradise and our lovely animals, for that reason we host farm stays and offer tours and visits. We can offer unique experiences for you to meet and interact with our animals such as farm tours, feeding of our animals or brushing and spending time with the donkeys. We are happy to customise the experience for example as a birthday present.
We are also able to host groups of people, we have hosted groups of seniors to enjoy our animals.
The Miniature Mediterranean Donkey from Sicily and Sardinia, is almost extinct in the wild in their native land, though breeding programs have been very successful in the United States, the UK and France. In the 18th century they were primarily used indoors for turning grindstones for grain and as pack animals for mountain shepherds. When fully grown they stand at between 30 (~ 76 cm) and 36 (~ 91 cm) inches tall.
