Interview with Benji:
A: What are your jobs on the farm?
B: I basically run the place, they couldn't do it
without me. I visit all the pastures on a regular basis
to ensure that the occupants are behaving. I taste all
the horses feed to ensure no poisonings occur. I
accompany "A" to the arena to make sure all the
babies are bombproof. Recently, I picked up the lunge
whip and chased a young Labrador around the arena
with it. "A" finds these sessions add a lot of
excitement to her riding which she would not otherwise
have. I often go on trail rides to scout ahead for
vicious varmints, you never know where they are
lurking. I chase the sheep to give them some needed
exercise - fat lazy things that they are. I exercise
the broodmares. It is a little known fact that I am a
cross country mini donkey. I jump fences in the arena
AND natural obstacles. Yes, without me, Wits End
would fall to pieces. Lucky for them they found me.
Some say I am not a show quality mini donkey because
of my crooked legs, but when the FEI finally heeds my
requests and starts the Mini Donkey CCI****, I am
poised to win, hands down! When you see our horses
leave the farm and garner those top platings, it is
because they were schooled early on by me, Benji.
Atackkkkkkk!
