Dear Rebecca

I would like to thank you for the thoughtfulness, excellent communication and overall professionalism that you have shown me throughout my recent purchase of ‘Carinya Park Virtuoso’ (aka Teddy). Most of all I would like to convey gratitude on behalf of Teddy who has been fortunate enough to have been welcomed into this world by your loving kindness and receive the highest standard of care from you.

The holistic approach that you utilise at Carinya Park has had amazing results; Teddy’s health, conformation and temperament are all outstanding. It is obvious that he has had all his needs considered and met during that fundamentally important time from birth to weaning; add to this all the love he has received from you and Elise and the end result is that I have one delightful companion!

Your impeccable breeding ethics are a credit to you and something that I considered as being very important when deciding about my new addition. I have seen first hand that your breeding program is a ‘labour of love’ and is complemented beautifully by your vast knowledge of ‘all things equine’!

The 5 ½ month wait for Teddy to grow and be weaned was made so much easier by your frequent emails full of Teddy news, photos and videos clips. It made him seem more of a ‘reality’ to me as the long distance between us prevented me from seeing him as often as I would have liked.

After arriving here three weeks ago Teddy is settling in well and is proving himself to be quite a character. He is already very much loved. He has met members of my family, friends and my other animals with a sense of quiet curiosity and open friendliness. Never the one to stand back he encounters new situations with remarkable cognition, stoic acceptance and trust. He has a cheeky boldness about him which everyone finds very amusing and his obvious intelligence enables him to learn new things quickly. I am really happy with him.

One of the most refreshing aspects in meeting you and buying your precious boy is in the knowledge that your love for, and sense of responsibility to Teddy will endure a lifetime and does not stop at the point of sale.

Thank you so much for your support and entrusting his care to me.

With kind regards

Beth

Dear Rebecca,

I have always wanted a Miniature Donkey, and never managed to find one until I found your web page. Little Frosty was for sale and I must say, it was love at first sight ....I felt he would fit in so well here, with so much love to give him. I have been breeding Alpacas for the last 10 years, and found that we share the same passion and commitment to our animals.

So, from a distance, you sent me photos, emails and answered my many questions! I could not wait to see Frosty. Finally the day arrived, and from the moment he stepped off the truck, he gently responded with open affection and trust. Family members and friends are so impressed with his quiet and accepting nature. He is so friendly and happy to socialize... He has quite a fan club already!!

Frosty has settled well, and has a mate now...Reggie the miniature pony! The Alpacas have accepted him, and on our walks he gets up close and personal with some of them...nose to nose! I look forward to daily cuddles, and each morning am greeted with a Hee Haw!! Each day is a new adventure and I am so glad to be apart of it!

A big thank you Rebecca for your professionalism and your willingness to give information and to not tire with questions that I sometimes think are silly. It is lovely to know your care and love of these beautiful Donkeys does not end with purchase. I will endeavour to always keep in touch with his progress   ...lots of photos and highlights.

This is a lifetime commitment for me....I will enjoy and cherish him ..my life is indeed richer for this new friendship, and I have you to thank.

They say that owning a Donkey is good for the soul...I agree whole heartedly!!
