TERMS OF SALE

A non refundable deposit of 20% is required for any purchase of Irish Donkeys.  We would then appreciate full payment within two weeks unless a agreement has been made between us and the buyer, in which case a confirmation letter will be signed by both parties.  We accept Direct Deposit or Cheques/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.

Agistment will be charged on all adult donkey sales.  The cost for this charge will be $15 per week.  In regard to foal sales agistment will be charged from 3 months of age, at a charge of $15 per week.  We regret that this charge applies, but until the drought breaks we have no choice.

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 $5 per day to pay for feeding and housing of the animal/s.  Any animal left on our property remains the responsibility of the owner at all times and it is recommended that Livestock Insurance coverage be arranged. 

It is important that you choose your new pets wisely as we DO NOT offer a refund on your purchase, unless under exceptional circumstances. Ashington  Park reserves the right to withdraw a sale at anytime, in which case a refund will be given.  If necessary we would be more than happy to assist you in re-selling your animal if your circumstances change and are unable to keep it.  We are confident that all our animals that are sold are in excellent health and sell them accordingly. We do not give any guarantee on stock we have bought in or on stock being sold on behalf of others. 

Ashington Park Stud recommends that you fully research the requirements of owning a Irish 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.

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:
