But... more about my donkey, George, he really likes scarves. And nose kisses, SO CUTE! :) Well, it is feeding time for George! By the donkey, oh and llamas are good too!
Most likely it would be the Falabella horse as it is the smallest and will therefore eat the least. They likely would not require shoes, and typically equine veterinarians and farriers will charge less for the care of a small equine such as a miniature or Falabella. They also require less space then a donkey or cow.
