Copper Star Farm Miniature & Standard Donkeys
Fairfield, Pennsylvania
There are people on Facebook Donkey Group Pages currently scamming people using my Farm name and Address. Please know this is NOT ME or my Donkeys,..
Here is HOW You can be safe and know you are getting the donkey that you want!
Always check and double check information.
----You will ALWAYS talk to a Woman... That is me.. Emily Hoponick. No one else!
----My email is and always has been emilyhoponick@hotmail.com or emily.d.hoponick@mcpsmd.net
----Any donkeys that are available will be somewhere on my website. Even then double check!
----I will NEVER pressure you into sending me money. I actually do the opposite and want you to think about your purchases AFTER VISTING THE FARM! If you can not visit ask me to Skype or Facetime! Pictures of ME are on this website.
----If you do decide to put down a deposit all of my accounts have my name and some even have a photo of ME! Zelle / Paypal / Venmo
----If anyone tries to scam you and you are UNSURE.. then CALL or Text me at 301-452-1251.
This is very upsetting to me that people are using animals to create scams. Please be careful and use your BRAIN not Impulse when making transactions. WE just want you to be safe!
Love Emily and the Donkeys...

Sire: Top Hat's Paddington "Ace", 34" Black & white spotted woolly
Dam: Copper Star Milano Cookie, small standard, Black with light points
Neo will make an exceptional horse companion. He was born in the field with the sheep and currently guarding. My experience tells me that once he matures the sheep field will not be his place. So, he will be looking for his new home as a horse companion! He will be ADMS registered as both of his parents are registered.
Price includes microchip, halter / lead rope, registration, worming & first trim.
He was vaccinated in utero with a 4 way vaccine.

ADMS registration pending.
Deposit of $3,000 holds him until the end of September when he will be ready for pick up. He comes with a microchip, 4 way vaccine, worming, registrations, halter and lead rope.
Sire: Top Hat's Paddington "Ace", 34" Black & white spotted woolly (MGF Woolly Lines)
Dam: Bainbridges Ella Bella Apple Pie, 30.5", Brown Dun super woolly, curly (Apple Pie Woolly Line)
Here he is! Woooeee. Cute, cute, cute. If you are looking for an extreme woolly donkey to keep as a pet here is your guy. Sweet and just being a momma's boy right now. Gosh he loves her! It is adorable. He will mature to approx 32".
Fiddler has a really strong bone structure. Thick! Good enough to be a jack but happier to be a future gelding. His hair is going to be ridiculous and will need lots of grooming so if that is not your thing.. move on! He will be the wooliest donkey foal that I have born this year.
I have more photos and video / pedigree upon request.
New photo right. His mane is floppy already.
Foals are being posted as they arrive. Scroll. There is no waiting list. Foals will only be held with a secure deposit.
