have no problem repeating it in her foals. Dressy may be for sale after weaning at about

had it all from the moment he stood. A small, well proportioned jack with a spectacular
head that's short and blocky, much like his sire, Circle
C. Corona. Tucker is short coupled with fullness to his rear and excellent balance.
At only a day old you could see the tremendous width in his chest, a very desirable trait
in a herd sire and show donkey. This breeding is a result of some of the finest
sorrel bloodlines in North American and Canada. He is sure to turn many heads in the years
to come. Click

Weapon |

Born
September 11, 2003. Weapon is a tiny jack with a lot of bone. He had a light nose
and eye rings but they seem to be fading. I'm not real sure what color he is... but
for now we will call him Smokey black. His disposition is the best...he is the first baby
to jump into your lap for a snuggle.
Weapons' Sire is Motown's Secret and his Dam is MGF Little Cover
Girl, a 31 inch Granddaughter of Valintino 50. This little guy was barely 19 inches
at birth and we believe he will stay very small.

| Big Woods Nickels
|

Nickels is a sweet
little dark brown jack, who will be gelded in the early fall. He is conformationally
correct and should mature about 31 or 32 inches tall. Nickels leads well and stood
like a champ for his first hair cut. He would make a great pet, other animal companion or
nice show gelding. 
Sandy & David Triplett Hillsborough, NC Big
Woods Nickels places 5th in Geldings all ages at the NMDA NC State Fair Show..... way to
go Nickels!
Congratulations Sandy
and David Triplett and Horacio and Kristi Arriaga. Big Woods Nickels wins 2004 Shelbyville
NMDA Geldings to Halter 2 and under and pinned NMDA Grand Champion Gelding. Great job!!!!

A
great little dun jennet born May 17, 2003. Her dam is our LN Noranda, a Grand Champion
who's extended pedigree includes such greats as LN Nehemiah, LN Nitch Luigi and Pearl Bailey.
Her sire is our Circle C. Corona, a World Champion sorrel jack by Red Lightening. This proven
cross has produced Big Woods Little Acorn a beautiful dark brown jennet who placed 2nd at
the NMDA Nationals in 2001 and was selected by the winner of the 2002 CO-OP Sweepstakes.
Last year this crossed produced Big Woods Roseanna Dana, a striking light red jennet who
was pinned Grand Champion Jennet as a weaning. Roseanna continues her winning show
career with Designer Donkeys in Texas, placing second at the 2003 Houston Livestock show
and 1st place yearling jennet at the Corsicana show 2003 Coronita
is destined to follow in her parents and siblings footsteps. Colored multiple Champion
backgrounds like this with great full pedigrees, sharp head and presence don't come along
very often. 
Sandy & David Triplett Hillsborough,
NC
Congratulations to Sandy and David Triplett and Horacio and Kristi Arriaga of Dogwood Acres
