2019 Grizzly Bear Coulee Ride
35 km was covered over two days. A dog tracking device was used and now altered routes can be used to stay off crop land. Hopefully two rides will be planned for 2020. There are possibilities for wagons/carts as well as minis.

ISO: halter breaking donkey for our purebred beef operation and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. My criteria is as follows: traditional regular sized Jesus Donkey. Prefer under 5 years old halter broke, need not have experience with halter breaking cattle but a willing disposition is a must. No preference as to Jack or Jenny. We are located in the Peace Country but could travel to find the right Donkey. We had a breaking donkey for over 20!years and he was exceptional. The new hired hand will have big shoes to fill.
