We make purchasing your donkey easy! Just follow these 6 easy steps -
~ Research as much as you can about donkeys. Make sure that you will fit a donkey's life as much as s/he will fit yours!
~ Email or call us . We are happy to answer any questions you might have - obligation free!
~ When you decide to purchase a foal, a holding deposit of $100 will secure your bundle of joy. We will let you know the Jennet's foaling and prospective weaning date.
~ When the foal arrives and you are in love (and you will be!). A deposit of 50% of the sale price is all that is needed to become a proud new donkey owner.
~ Two weeks prior to your new addition leaving Ashington Park the balance is paid.
~ You can pick your new "Best Friend Forever" up, arrange transport or we can arrange transport for you at your cost.
Other Important Information
We accept Direct Deposit /Money Orders, however please be aware that the animal/s will not be able to be removed from our property until payment in full is received and funds have cleared into our account.
NOTE: ASHINGTON PARK DOES NOT SELL JACKS (ENTIRE MALES) except to approved breeders*.
*Approved Breeders are breeders that are recognised by Ashington Park and are members of a Donkey Society.
Agistment will be charged on all adult donkey sales. The cost for this charge will be $20 per week. If you are unable to collect your new addition/s on the agreed date then it may be necessary for us to charge an agistment fee of $10 per day to pay for feeding and housing of the animal/s. Any animal left on our property beyond the due date of pickup becomes the responsibility of the new owner, therefore it is recommended that Livestock Insurance coverage be arranged from due date of pickup.
It is important that you choose your new pets wisely as we DO NOT refund the full price of your purchase. We will need to retain 20% of the purchase price to cover additional expenses. Ashington Park reserves the right to withdraw a sale at anytime, in which case a full refund will be given. We are confident that all our animals that are sold are in excellent health and sell them accordingly. All donkeys are sold with full registration with either the American Donkey and Mule Society or International Miniature Donkey Registry as well as micro chipping. Soundness certificates can be supplied at purchases expense.
Please note that during transport Donkeys require more space than horses. Their particular requirements limit the type of vehicle that can be used over long distances. With this in mind Ashington Park recommends and uses a limited number of transport companies. These companies allow us to transport our animals locally, nationally and internationally. Ashington Park can assist in arranging transport with these companies. The use of these companies will ensure that your animal arrives happy and healthy. These companies include:

Please Note
That regardless of the transport company used, Ashington Park will not be held liable for the welfare and well being of the transported animals after they have left Ashington Park Stud.
Ashington Park Stud recommends that you fully research the requirements of owning a Irish/Miniature Donkey. There is a great deal of information on various donkey websites and your local vet should be able to offer further information on the care of your animal. We also recommend that you contact your local council regarding their requirements for owning livestock. |
