I recently ordered two mini halter/lead ropes and two mini blankets. Both packages arrived quickly and in good condition. The halters fit my miniature John donkeys perfectly. After trying on the blankets, one fit perfectly and one was too big as my Reggie, though long is thinner. Melody is working with me on an exchange and that process is going smoothly. 10/10 recommend this small business. I’ll be placing an order for her training 102 and stick and string real soon.
Response from the owner:Christie, thank you for taking the time to share your experience purchasing from my small business. Your donkeys are blessed to have you as their human mom.

I ordered some blankets for my minis, Gus and Beau. Melody Johnson got in touch with me to make sure my order was correct and to give well-needed advice. She is wonderful. My blankets came within 2 days and she was happy to follow-up with me to make sure they fit properly!! I am not worried about the cold months coming now that I have these blankets. Melody's friendliness and professionalism is something that seems to be fading in today's society. She is a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Tania, You are a great donkey mom, measuring and ordering your blankets early. Your miniature donkeys Gus and Beau are blessed to have you. Thank you for leaving a review for my small business.

Donkey Whisperer Farm was so easy to order blankets from, for my five mini donkeys. All five boys are of various shapes and sizes and finding the right blanket for each was quick and true. Processing and shipping was quick. We are ALL very satisfied. Thanks Melody!
Response from the owner:Truly sweet babies warm and snug in their blankets. Thank you for leaving a review to help others. Trying to find a great blanket to fit a donkey is a challenge.

I'm a new owner of 2 mini donkeys and have a lot of questions. I did a personal consultation with Melody Johnson and she is awesome! She is kind, patient, caring and delightful to talk to. She is so passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to all things donkey and she genuinely wants to make our relationships with our donkeys the best they can be. She spent a great deal of time answering my questions and concerns via email before the personal consultation. There was so much to talk about that the time went over on the consultation but Melody continued to consult with me until she had addressed all of my concerns. I WILL consult with her again in the future as my journey with my new little boys continues. She is a wonderful resource and I am so grateful to have found her. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Plus, all of the "Donkey Whisperer" training tools and products are absolutely amazing and top of the line.
Response from the owner:Hi Carol, I am thrilled for your new life with long ears (donkeys). Thank you for investing in your donkeys they are going to have a happy healthy life on your farm. I wish you and your precious donkeys only the best in life and donkeys make our life so much better. Thank you for taking a moment to share personal coaching and consulting. If you need me for anything just give me a holler I will quickly help. Melody https://donkeywhisperer.com/product/donkey-trainer/

My beautiful donkey looks radiant in purple and responds much better to her rope halter than a standard halter! We went on a lovely walk yesterday and she stopped much less and did not feel like she needed to pull like she typically would to graze. She was focused and all business!
Response from the owner:Your donkey is lucky to have you as her human. Thank you for sharing our adjustable standard soft yacht rope halter lead line combo. 🙂

Loved working with Melody on a blanket for my donkey. She spent a lot of time helping me find the right size. Ultimately, she told me when we could not find the right size, but she is hoping to work on getting one made in the future. Also love the Kennsington blankets that Melody sells for miniature donkeys. They fit nice and snug and are of great quality. I got one for another miniature donkey and we love it!

I purchased three soft yacht rope halters for my standard donkeys and I love them 💖 They are very good quality and fit much, much better than something made for a horse! This is the new rescue donkey I just got a couple days ago and she looks great in the purple.
Response from the owner:Heather, thank you for supporting my small business. Super cute fly mask with the ears. 🙂

I have purchased two vides, Donkey 101 and 102, as well as two of the standard donkey halters and stick with string. The videos are absolutely amazing in helping me work with my donkeys, giving good sound training advice and helping me manage my expectations and do the best for my donks. The halters are top of the line quality - sturdy and well built. The lead rope is thick and soft and feels wonderful in my hands. The training stick is very well constructed and built to last. I love everything about Donkey Whisperer Farm and love Melody's sensible approach to training.
Response from the owner:Susan, I really enjoyed talking to you today. Your rescue donkeys and pony are extremely blessed and lucky to have you as their human. Thank you for leaving a review. Melody

We have order 4 halters from The Donkey whisper farm including one specially made for one of the babies. Both the halter and the leads are really well made, easy to handle and the lead is very comfortable to work with. I would recommend this for any horse or donkey lover.
Response from the owner:Hi Anne, thank you for supporting my small business. 🙂 Melody

Absolute best customer service. I received quick confirmation and shipping. These are the softest, yet sturdiest, halters I have tried. The quality is such that I know it will last a long time. I love the softness of the lead and the unique clip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your burros/donkeys.
Response from the owner:Hi Maria Vaughn, Thank you for leaving a review on our fb business page. Please give your donkey(s) a big kiss from me. I love all the donkeys, mules, and horses so very much. Donkeys deserve only the best.

Fast service! I needed a 3 foot stick and string for my daughter to use. I ordered on a Saturday and received the order sooner than expected! It’s perfect!

Melody and Scott are beautiful human beings who have created the most lovely farm for these adorable and wonderful Donkeys. Melody has a huge heart to pass on her vast knowledge of Donkeys, by teaching others to care properly for their Donkeys every need. I can't recommend Melody Johnson highly enough to anyone who is a caregiver for one or more Donkeys. ❤
Response from the owner:We had such a wonderful time sharing the donkeys with the two of you yesterday. Please come back soon. 🙂

Melody was wonderful prior to us purchasing, one of the donks has a larger head and is difficult to fit but Melody helped find the best solution. The halters make it much easier to walk our boys.
Response from the owner:Hi Dolly, Peanut looks great. Thank you for sharing your review of our quality donkey halters, and customer service. Yacht rope will never mold or frail. Dirty? Wash in a bucket of warm soapy water and let dry.

The training halter for my new Standard size donkey is excellent quality and fit great! Henry didn't mind it being on and we actually had a nice walk. Training videos are very helpful also.
