Backstory
Schmitt’s Chloe is one of the top winning show jennets in the country being named NMDA High Point Jennet of the Year twice. She has won 17 High Point and Reserve High point awards that we are aware of (including wins at the NMDA National shows) and has been halter Champion or Reserve Champion numerous times as well as NMDA Best of Breed. In 2015 she was back in the show ring after taking a year off…and the year off served her well. 2015 resulted in her best season ever. She competed in 10 shows and was named High Point or Reserve in 7 of those. She placed 1st in halter in 50% of the shows she entered and was named Champion Jennet or Reserve Champion Jennet in 4 shows. And to top it off she achieved an NMDA Best of Breed title! Other outstanding accomplishments for the year include Excellence in Halter, Excellence in Performance – In-Hand and Excellence in Performance – Driving awards from the American Donkey Association. Ms. Chloe showed her heart out in 2015 and we are very proud of her.
Chloe is one donkey that is near and dear to us. She became one of the family in 2012 and we can honestly say there is not another out there that could make us any happier than she does. We did not fully realize what a miniature donkey was capable of until she became a part of Brayberry. She has taught us much. Chloe is the one that started it all, and has kept us in the show ring when we were too exhausted to tackle another show. Her willingness, her orneriness, her sheer mischievousness has made it enjoyable and worthwhile.
We are extremely thankful to Kathy Schmitt of Bryan, TX for parting with Chloe and to Bobbie Ferraro of Navasota, Tx for training her to be what she is. To quote Kathy regarding Chloe…”She is both mischievous and independent” “She is inquisitive” “She also has a little bit of “stinker” in her personality, which makes her funny and fun.” We couldn’t agree more…Chloe is certainly ALL of these things. She will unlatch the gate to let her friends out, she will ignore and stick up her nose when being summoned, she considers herself better than the other donkeys that she is forced to share quarters with…it’s no wonder she is a champion in the show ring! A more conceited donkey will not be found.
Seriously, she is everything we could have hoped for. She is a supreme halter jennet that truly excels in performance. Both a halter AND performance champion…quite an achievement. Many donkeys tend to be one or the other but Chloe is a true all-around performer. We couldn’t ask for more.
Attitude, trainability, willingness and quality of movement…traits passed on to Chloe by her sire, Spikehorn Ranch Romeo. Rome will be joining the Brayberry breeding program in 2016. Looking forward to more Performance/Halter Champions by this extraordinary line in the years to come.
