Temperament: Carmen Diaz was named for her big brown eyes.  She is a beautiful full size donkey, but small for her breed.  Carmen has evidently been abused and possibly hobbled or roped and tied.  She is so afraid of letting anyone touch any part of her legs, that it has been hard to win her trust. 

She is not a mean donkey...she is super sweet!  Just scared to death of humans.  She will win anyone over with her beautiful face!

Physical problems / health issues: Carmen is expecting a foal late spring or early summer 2008
