About Our Miniature Donkey Breeding Program

We breed only Registered Miniature Donkeys. Over the years, we have assembled a highly select group of exceptional, proven, pedigreed breeding jennets. Our breeding program is focused on correct body structure including build and balance; not color.
Our jennets consistently produce foals with strong, straight legs, balanced builds and excellent movement and show potential. As a result of our efforts, our Miniature Donkeys are being successfully shown nationally and internationally with several recent NMDA Champion awards. 
Our Miniature Donkeys have been sold to Texas, Vermont, Oregon, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico, Connecticut, England and France.

Generations of Dedication & Experience

Ellinger Farms have been continued through the generations.  Scott's family farmed
over 2,000 acres of crops and raised and showed hogs, cattle and sheep. Scott graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Animal Science and Theresa graduated from The Ohio State University with a BS in Business Administration.  The Red Gate was established in 1996 as a select breeding farm of Registered Miniature Donkeys.

Protecting and Preserving the Future of the Breed

We feel the most important responsibility of a Miniature Donkey breeder is to preserve, protect and promote the future of the breed through highly ethical breeding practices
We maintain a small, highly select herd and produce only several foals per year.  We offer jacks only when they have reached or are close to breeding age AND have met our criteria on conformation, pedigree and temperament.

In addition, we participate through showing and sponsorships, participating in Miniature Donkey events and helping to educate and encourage new Miniature Donkey breeders and owners. We are active members of the National Miniature Donkey Association (NMDA) and  the American  Donkey and Mule Society (ADMS).  We are supporters of the NMDA Gelding Incentive program and NMDA Research.

We Welcome Your Call, Email or Visit

We hope that you will consider The Red Gate for exceptional Miniature Donkeys for your breeding program, show aspirations, or as a true life-long member of your family. Our farm is located in Centerburg, Ohio, which is about 40 miles Northeast of Columbus. We encourage you to call or EMAIL us if you have questions about our breeding program. 

We look forward to your email, call or visit! - Scott & Theresa Ellinger
