Donkeys learn us so much.. Modesty, freedom of choice, good humour. After half year with my Luna im already addicted:) Greetings and very happy to see people who can really comunicate.
@AnimalAidz First learn some ortography, then after reading some decent literature about equines and spending a few years with donkeys you will see how this donkey's back is in excellent shape, and actually very straight for a donkey. Just like people, the more trained they are the more weight they can carry comfortably, and proportionally they can carry more than twice than what a horse can carry without suffering neither short nor long term.
@RandomPresence I have spent quite a few years with Donkeys, nine or ten. And as a matter of fact, a Donkey can not carry or endure as much, and certainly not two times as much, a horse's weight. Small and strong they may be, but if a Donkey were to be able to carry what you say he can, answer me this;
Why, is there a new rule under law that at Beach Rides, Fair's etc no persons over 8st can ride the donkey?
@AnimalAidz Thank you for reducing the use of capital letters, my eyes appreciate it. If you look up the word proportionally, you will see that what I mean is that between a donkey and a pony of the exact same size, the donkey can carry a lot more. Now if the animal is going to carry weight for an extended period of time like the beach donkeys (I believe 6 hours a day, 4 days a week? sorry if my memory fails me), of course the standard 20% rule applies, you'll know what i mean if you have read
the book given out by the donkey sanctuary. However for a pet to carry its owners weight, where is the wrong in that as long as the animal does not complain? They are excellent communicators if you can be bothered to learn their body language, believe me, i could tell his chipping had hurt upon seeing his face even though I hadnt even been there (and gave the vet quite a fright: "how did you know?!") My boy and me are about the same size as these two, and ride with vets and breeders permission.

The Donkeys Back Quarters Have Slightly Deformed Due To Too Much Weight. I Also Unoffensively Doubt You Are Under 5 St. Please Get Off That Donkey ..
