Silver was a 52 inch
large standard spotted jack, and a double grandson of National Champion
Donkey, Solomon's Henry. His sire is Doctor Henry. Click here
to read more about this well-known bloodline. Silver was twice runner-up
at the Texas Zoo's Most Beautiful Burro Contest in Victoria, Texas.
He was to begin his show and breeding career in 2003, but sadly, he died
suddenly while playing in his paddock right before Christmas 2002 due to
EIPH. He was only five years old.

dorsal and shoulder stripes on Silver, forming the well-known "donkey's
cross."

Baby Kenny and baby Knee-Hi were just right for each other (left). Antsy (right) was Knee-Hi's half sister. Their sire was Casanova who came from the original Miniature Mediterranean donkey stock imported by August Busch, Jr. (Sicilian and Sardinian imports in their pedigrees.)
