What the Miniature Donkey Showcase?

  • These little Jennets and Jacks have a ton of personality, and their easy-going, gentle nature makes them great pets.
  • Throughout the four days of this year’s Calgary Stampede you will witness several demonstrations where exhibitors will put their miniature donkeys through challenging trail courses, including bridges, pylons, jumps and ropes.
  • Following each demonstration you will have the opportunity to meet the minis and learn why they are one of the most popular animals on Park!
  • Watch this video from 2011 to learn more!
