Sire: Hickory Hill Holy Smoke, 30" Black nlp with star
Dam: Copper Star Homer's Penelope, 33" Fully Frosted White
Spartan has always been a gift. He is a wonderful jack but I am not using him as much as I would like. He has many daughters in my herd and the line is solid. He makes beautiful foals. They always sell well. No issues with teeth, legs or hooves. He is just solid.
He is a good breeder. Getting the job done he marks his Jennets on the shoulder with is Lovee bites but no more. He has gone to NY, PA and Maryland to breed other Jennets and everyone has caught.
I am remiss to say I might be making a mistake. But, he is getting older and deserves more plush accommodations that I can give him. So here we go. Just floating the idea. If you are interested you are more than welcome to inquire. I have one request. He must have his own designated area/stall for the winters. Furthermore, he likes women. Not crazy about men and being handled by them at all. So if you are a female donkey breeder looking for a cool jack that is versatile and easy to handle give him a look. He leads, trailers super well and is just that guy.
