Training Wild Burros with MaryJo Enfield
I make How to/Tutorial videos about training wild donkeys. This includes gentling wild BLM burros and unhandled donkeys, groundwork to prepare donkeys by building muscle to support their job, saddle training, and training to pack. I do this because I believe donkeys are largely misunderstood as being stubborn and unwilling, however with the right training approach donkeys are extremely willing and loving animals that can do amazing things.
