Pierre Brehm, Wild Horse & Burro Adopter in Willcox, Arizona: When I found out there was
a burro available I grabbed her up just like that and I just really like her. She is a
little ornery sometimes, but normally she behaves pretty good.
Like I say she is kind of like a cat. She does not want to pay any attention to you.
Cookie. C-o-o-k-i-e. Well actually, my ex- decided that because that was her name. Her
nickname was Cookie so she says we will call the burro Cookie.
I’ve had her for about twenty-five years. Well for one thing just wanting a burro, just
the satisfaction of having her. That was the whole thing; just the satisfaction of having
my own burro and especially that she was a BLM burro.
I read a lot about the BLM burros and the wild mustangs and all of that.
Your tame horse is not like the one I had back in Maryland. He would have never made
it out here, but a wild burro they are used to the wildlife. They are used to all the
open space and all that. And this is all desert and that is what they are used to.
Best characteristics, well that she is very quiet. You hardly ever hear her. She is just
so calm and laid-back and like I say she is just such a sweet thing and nice long ears.
She doesn’t make a fuss about anything. She is just totally relaxed, just nice and
calm and all that. And she loves her carrots and apples.
So I would recommend if anyone has any kind of a feeling for these wild critters, go and
get one.
