A high school dropout, his interest in the popular music of the 1890s through the 1930s manifested itself early, and his dream was to become a singer. The son of a Lebanese father and Jewish mother, the young Khaury grew up in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. To other countries, we can arrange air transportation on major airlines.Tiny Tim, the ukulele-playing singer of 1920s ditties who was a true icon of the 1960s, was born Herbert Khaury on April 12, 1932, in New York City. If you need transportation, we can arrange ground transport within the US and Canada. All miniatures come with Tanglewood Farm health papers showing up to date vaccinations, deworming schedule, and hoof trimming schedule. This also enables Tanglewood Farm time to deworm the weanlings and give them their first vaccinations. They need time to grow and play with other weanlings, receive discipline from their mothers, and time to change their diet gradually to eliminate the desire for mother’s milk. We prefer weanlings do not leave Tanglewood Farm before they are 2 months of age. So that we do not unintentionally introduce disease into our herds, we do not bring our animals to shows, and we do not borrow or lend animals for breeding. Once an animal is sold, it may not be returned. We maintain a closed herd, which means we do not bring in any new animals, embryos or semen. The health of our animals is very important to us, and we follow rather strict practices. Our livestock is current on vaccinations, dental checkups, hoof care, and worming. We provide proper nutrition and quality veterinary care to all of our animals. We are very proud of the daily handling and care given to our miniatures here at Tanglewood Farm. They are very cautious and slow making them wonderful therapy animals for children and adults. They can pack a moderate load of cargo and can carry up to 100 pounds. They can be easily trained to be ridden or to pull a cart or wagon singly or as a team.

Miniature donkeys by nature are one of the friendliest and most affectionate animals of its type.

Their life span is approximately 30 to 35 years. Donkey foals are weaned between 3 to 4 months of age. It takes a female donkey up to 13 months to have a baby. Female donkeys are called jennets or jenneys. A cross between a donkey and a horse is called a mule, while a male horse and a female donkey produces a hinny. Miniature donkeys are members of the equine family. Colors other than typical gray-dun makes the donkey more exotic looking, therefore increasing their price. Miniature donkeys also come in variations of black/brown, white, spotted and roans. This dorsal stripe is known as the “donkey’s cross” said to have been imprinted on the donkey’s back as it stood at Christ’s crucifixion. The most common color for miniature donkeys is gray-dun which consists of a gray colored body with a dark color dorsal stripe down the back and over the shoulders. They are quite intelligent, curious, and very affectionate. They are very easy to train to pull a cart or carry a small child. Their height limit at maturity is 36 inches at the withers which is the last hair of the mane at the bottom of the neck. Miniature donkeys weigh between 200 and 450 pounds. The continued conservation of the breed in North America is key to their continued survival. In the Mediterranean region, many of the small working donkeys are being crossed with larger breeds, making their global population perilous. An association was established in 1958 to maintain the registry. Later, the Busch family (of Anheuser Busch) imported a second herd. Miniature donkeys first made their appearance in the United States in 1929 when a group of seven was imported by Robert Green of New York. Poppaea, wife of Roman Emperor, Nero, was legend to have kept a large herd to be milked for her baths.
