Suitability of Mules and Donkeys for Children - Meredith Hodges - Lucky Three Ranch 

Teach your child how to be around equines.When choosing an equine for your child, do not choose a donkey jack.Do not choose an equine that is an alpha figure in the herd or one with aggressive behavior. Choose a mule or donkey with a quiet disposition for your child. Encourage children to do tasks around the barn to learn more about their equines' behavior traits. Consider giving a homeless donkey, burro or mule a chance to be in your child's care. Donkeys tend to have less issues and tend to be more sedate rescue animals than mules.
