OUR MINIATURE DONKEY HERD
Moonlit Dreams Bentley
AKA "Ben"
Ben is a 30" brown and white spotted jack whose pedigree blends some of the best spotted and red bloodlines in the miniature donkey world. His sire, Mischief Maker of N&D’s Lonestar, comes from a line of tiny, well-balanced spotted donkeys, while his dam, Jewel of the Rockies, adds depth with strong Circle C and Stoney Acres red genetics. From the Arrow Creek and Lonestar programs to Northern Dancer and Arabella of Ass-pirin Acres, Ben’s lineage is full of proven names known for producing small, correct foals with color. He’s already passing along those traits—compact size, eye-catching markings, and a calm, kind temperament that makes his foals easy to love.
Cyder's Ginger
AKA "Ginger"
Dark red miniature donkey jennet | Born May 20, 2015 | Approximately 33 inches
Ginger is a proven producer with depth, substance, and an established performance pedigree. She is sired by multi-champion jack Sunset Acres Red Sunset, and her dam is a direct daughter of 45 Magnum. Her production record reflects the strength of those bloodlines: one of her jack foals became a herd sire in Belgium, while another earned second place in an 18-entry NMDA weanling class. Ginger is confirmed pregnant for a spring 2027 foal and is a valued member of our breeding herd.
Cyder’s Red Lily
AKA "Lily"
Red miniature donkey jennet | Born June 15, 2021 | Approximately 32 inches

She comes from established, show-producing bloodlines and has already produced an outstanding small jack. Lily is confirmed pregnant to Cyder’s Black Hawk for an expected June 2027 foal, making her an exciting part of the Sweet Dreams Acres breeding program.

​
​Raisin's heritage shines through in her foals. Her son Blu was a tiny, people-loving colt who quickly became a farm favorite. On August 20, 2026, Raisin welcomed MoonlitDreams Meadow, an exceptionally tiny dark jennet by our spotted jack Ben. See the Donkey Sales page for Meadow's details.
S&B Minis Lilacs Silva Belle
AKA "Belle"

Bock and Zig Zag of Hickory Hills — compact sires known for producing small, correct, and colorful foals. From her dam, Belle inherits the Lewis Mills and Wray’s programs, both recognized for strength, refinement, and rich dark coloring.
​
She recently weaned her spotted daughter TinkerBelle, a sweet and flashy jennet who has already become a farm favorite. Belle gave birth to beautiful Honey on May 25, 2026. See sale page for her details.
Junebug (formerly MoiraRose)
AKA "Junebug"
Junebug is a 37-inch rescue jennet who has become one of the most cherished members of Sweet Dreams Acres. Though she came to us without papers, she quickly proved that registration is not what makes a donkey special. With her kind eyes, steady temperament, and gentle way with children, Junebug has captured the hearts of everyone who meets her.
Junebug was bred to Top Hat’s Paddington “Ace,” a 34-inch black-and-white spotted woolly jack admired for his striking coat, balanced build, and strong spotted and woolly pedigree. Junebug and Ace are expecting a foal in early autumn 2026, an exciting pairing with the potential for a colorful, woolly-coated baby and Junebug’s beloved temperament.
Aikane's Ladybug
AKA "Ladybug"
Ladybug is small brown jennet with a pedigree that combines small, correct builds with strong red influence. Her sire, A Little Bit of LN, is just 27 ½" and traces back to Purdie Weldon, while her dam, Roseanna Danna of Big Woods, carries the Circle C and Canadian red lines through Corona. This balance of size and color makes Ladybug an exciting addition to our program.
​
Even more than her papers, Ladybug is known for her personality. She is a precious member of the farm, always first in line for the farrier or vet, and never one to miss a chance to be part of the action. Her bright, curious nature makes her a favorite of visitors and family alike.
