Click MDR sign for Jitterbug's complete pedigree.
Christmas came early in 2015 because Jitterbug arrived all the way from Coyote Run Miniature Donkey Farm in Arkansas. She is a gorgeous masked spotted light red who is covered in beautiful dapples from her head to her tail. She has four white legs and the largest blaze face you have ever seen. Jitterbug is trained for driving and in-hand. We have always loved and admired this jennet when we saw her competing in NMDA shows so when she was offered for sale I jumped at the chance to own her. This is one very fancy performance donkey and we absolutely love her! Thank you to Jerry and Belinda Whitley for allowing me to own Jitterbug and for doing such a fine job of training this fabulous jennet. Jitterbug was previously trained for in-hand by Sandi Costa and trained for driving by Debbie Lee.
A special thank you to my former side kick, Katie Randall, for the fantastic job she did handling this jennet. Everything you see from the trail obstacles to her driving was done for the very first time with no practice runs. I absolutely adore J-Bug and you will have to pry her out of my cold dead hands when I die.
UPDATE!!! With very limited showing in NMDA shows Jitterbug has earned enough points to win the following awards from the American Donkey Association:
SUPREME IN HALTER
SUPREME IN PERFORMANCE
EXCELLENCE IN HALTER
EXCELLENCE IN-HAND
EXCELLENCE IN DRIVING
She has now earned her supreme in performance and halter as of her last show on August 17th, 2024, when she attended the Music City show and was shown by Wayne Lyon. Thank you Mr. Lyon...your outstanding showmanship helped her earn the very last points needed. I appreciate you for showing her even though you were recovering from a shoulder injury. Jitterbug is the first miniature donkey jennet to earn her Supreme in both Halter and Performance!!
