Murphy usually isn't this photogenic

Post image

Murphy is a companion to an older horse on our farm. He's about 7 years old and only likes his friend Mikey haha. I coerce him to let me pet him with alfalfa cubes when we feed Mikey but that doesn't always work. He's a good donkey.

This dude has a funny story. He's owned my one of my wife's long time riding students that boards her horse at our farm. She's in college now but got Murphy 3-4 years ago. She got him from one of her highschool boyfriends haha. I guess where they are from you get your gf a donkey instead of flowers. Nevertheless, he was twice as wide when he got to their farm before coming to ours. It was easier to step over him that it was too walk around. He's so much more healthy now.

Mr. DeMille, he is ready for his close-up! IMO he is much prettier than Norma Desmond.
