Hope-Longest Ears on a Living Donkey 

Hope arrived September of 2025 in unimaginable condition. She was lethargic, could not eat, 3 hoof abscesses, emaciated, and covered in skin infections and fungus. She also was upon further digging discovered to have Cushings Disease. 

​

After some time and care, our vet Dr. Smith noticed her ears were a little longer than any of the other donkeys she had seen. This sparked some research which led to us entering her measurements to the Guinness World Record team for official certification and adjudication. On Dec 22nd 2025, she was officially recognized with ears measuring 40.20cm or 15.8 inches.
