Eagle Rest Don Quixote,
a Mammoth Donkey, was purchased at three months from Eagle Rest Plantation in
Kevil, Ky. From Brayer Hill mares, Odie sired
Brayer Hill Sure Smooth Zorro,
Brayer Hill Othello,
Brayer Hill Razzle Dazzle,
Brayer Hill Cowboy Up
and
Brayer Hill Cisco Kid,
for Brayer Hill Farm and he produced other mules for other farms. He is a
half brothr to
Brayer Hill
Bubba.
He stood at stud and was shown in driving, halter and
performance. Odie also did a coffee promotion for Maxwell House in St. Louis and
promoted donkeys at the Horse-A-Rama in Ft. Worth.
Unfortunately, due to a
breeding accident, he had to be gelded. But he seems to enjoy his new found role
in life. He took care of the weanlings with Zorro and babysat the yearlings,
too. His gentle nature and quirky sense of humor endeared him to all. Odie was
shown participates in
parades,
but for the most part he was an amiable companion at the farm and the official
greeter for the visitors.
Odie produced saddle mules who earned awards and titles
from ADMS and NASMA
No farm should be without a donkey and Odie was Brayer Hill Farm's favorite
resident for 25 years and always in our hearts.
