About ADA - 

 

​ADA is a National Not for Profit organization formed in 2014.  Our mission is to Expand Donkey Activities and Shows, help Educate and share our Knowledge with others, Encourage others to Strive towards Experiencing the best that these Equines have to Offer, and to Promote the Welfare of the Breeds... all because of our shared love for The Donkey.   

​

- ADA will focus on the miniature donkey and strive to expand existing NMDA sanctioned shows and high-quality training shows throughout the US.  We will also focus on providing on-going information on health and training issues to our members, as well as promoting proper care of the donkey and the welfare of longears.

 

Our passion is for donkeys of all sizes.

 

- Our Board of Directors is comprised of long-time miniature donkey breeders, newer farms, retired business executives, individuals with tremendous show experience in halter and performance and small farms with donkeys used for therapy purposes.

 

- We feel that showing donkeys, therapy work with donkeys and understanding donkeys is in its infancy and our goal is to assist in the growth of our industry through promotion of the breed(s).
