We do acknowledge the many differences, though. For one thing, donkeys are smarter and not as inclined to get in a jackpot and hurt themselves. They are more cautious and usually slower moving. However, they can run as fast as a large horse if they want. Donkey Races are a highlight of the day, as they are really fun to watch.
Veterinary expenses are usually quite low.
Mini's need the same shots as horses and usually in full size doses. Rhino is given at 3 months or older, with a second shot 4-8 weeks later and then annually. Pregnant jennets are often vaccinated after the second month of pregnancy and then every 3 months until they foal. You should consult with your veterinarian for his recommended vaccination schedule. You should also ask about the necessity of Potomic Horse Fever and Rabies vaccinations.
