In 2008
TheDonkeyShowSite was created to offer a
place to provide information to donkey show
enthusiasts about show dates, show results,
and much more. Many miniature donkey owners
spend lots of time & money & effort in the
process of showing their donkeys.
TheDonkeyShowSite documents all of this hard
work by entering all NMDA show results in to
a database so that in the future all
donkeys’ NMDA show data can be tracked &
followed as time goes on.
In 2008 there were
16 NMDA sanctioned
shows
464 individual
miniature donkeys shown
2,751 total entries
Figuring
conservatively, at $10 per class, a total of
$27,510 was spent just for entries.
An estimated $10,000
more for stalls, another $7,000 for office
fees, totals to the amount to $45,000. This
number does not include shavings, hotel
rooms, & miscellaneous expenses.
Hidden costs such as
all the time show planners and managers who
donate their time & talents for free are
impossible to evaluate, but suffice to say
that without these generous people, the
shows would not go on.
And this was just for
NMDA sanctioned shows!
These numbers show that
the amount of money transferred into local
clubs and economies alone speaks to the
importance of showing the miniature donkey.
We are presently
linking ALL show results to their respective
clubs’ web pages if available.

THE DONKEY
SHOW SITE is the only place in the donkey
world in which show results are entered into
a database and kept perpetually. Our goal
is to provide one central location where
donkey enthusiasts can find anything
and everything about showing donkeys. This site is dedicated to all
the owners and exhibitors who take the time
and effort to show their donkeys. Whether
the show is large or small, and whether the
donkeys win or not, the effort is the same. Please
contact us if you have show information that
we are missing! No show is too large or too
small!
