"Forty Year Old Donkey owned & loved by the Henderson Family!"
The donkeys name is "Jenny" better known now as "Old Jenny". Travis Henderson bought "Jenny" from Mitchel Perry back in the early seventy's when she was three years old.
Mitchel had bought her from Mr. Thomas Lanning who had her mother when she was born.
My children and grand children all played with her while growing up.
I lost count of the number of foals she raised a long time ago but I know there were twelve or more.
There were several of her off-spring that were prize winners at fairs around the middle Tennessee area back in the 1980's and 1990's.
In 1999 my wife was diagnosed with cancer and I sold eleven of her off spring to a Mr. Killen of Green Hill, Alabama. I have lost out on where they are today.
I have not tried to raise a foal out of her for several years because of her age.
Photo above is of Old Jenny, Travis Henderson, his children and his grand children.
