Our Fearless Protectors
Danny, Eddie, and Jamie are the 3 donkeys that also reside at Enduring Soul Ranch. Although it's a rarity to see coyotes or other predators in the pastures, our donkeys serve as the policemen who keep our horses safe.
While they're super friendly. they also keep out anything that doesn't belong. They earn their keep day in and day out!
