Snookums

  

Ass-pirin Acres Snookums

Snookums was our very first AMMD. We purchased her in foal to 'Ass pirin Acres Lil Bit of Magic' in 2000 from Barbara and Keith Hoole. Her first foal was JOY’s Dream, a stunning show winner, and fabulous brood Jenny. She then gave us JOY’s Little Beau Dean, (by Lil Bit of Magic), JOY’s Miracle, and JOY’s Noelle, (both by Chateau’s Little Remus), before catching pneumonia at the age of 15.

Despite her diminutive size, (or perhaps because of it), Snookums was very bossy with the other Donkeys, but absolutely sweet natured with us. This web site is dedicated to her memory as we miss her to this day. She left behind the foundation of our herd.
