Come meet our miniature donkeys, Lee & Joy, and their adorable sidekick, Apple the Mini Horse located in Hyde Park NY (not in Pawling NY) .

These lovable farm favorites are the stars of our Walk-a-Donk and side kick, Apple, experience and can't wait to accompany you on a relaxing stroll through our scenic pastures and trails. Each animal has a unique personality, and spending time with them is a wonderful way to slow down, enjoy nature, and make a few new four-legged friends along the way.

WALK-A-DONK-OR-MINI-HORSE

A donkey farm is the perfect place to make a lifelong friend—and at Clover Brooke Farm you'll have three opportunities to do just that! Lee and Joy, our miniature Mediterranean donkeys, and Apple, their charming miniature horse sidekick.

Even an hour spent with these lovable companions can be the fresh-air escape you didn't know you needed. Children love brushing their furry friends, scratching behind those oversized ears, and setting off on an unforgettable adventure through scenic trails, rolling pastures, and peaceful farm landscapes.

WHY YOU SHOULD WALK A DONKEY (OR APPLE!)

Spending time with animals has been shown to reduce cortisol levels (a stress hormone), lower blood pressure, and improve overall mood. Our donkeys are excellent listeners with those famously large ears and are much too polite to interrupt or "bray" back. Apple, our miniature horse, is equally delightful and always ready to join the fun.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful stroll, a unique family outing, or simply an excuse to spend time with adorable animals, Lee, Joy, and Apple are ready to be your guides.

Our trio loves a leisurely pace and will happily accompany you through sheep paddocks, open pastures, and around our scenic bass pond while you enjoy the sights, sounds, and serenity of the farm.

BENEFITS OF WALKING A MINI DONKEY OR HORSE

For adults, spending time with animals can be surprisingly therapeutic. A walk with Lee, Joy, or Apple provides a quiet opportunity to reflect, reconnect with nature, and leave everyday stress behind.

For children, donkey walks are a one-of-a-kind experience that combines outdoor adventure, animal interaction, and hands-on learning. It's the perfect weekend activity—and one they'll be talking about long after they return home.

These walks also teach patience, observation, and empathy. Every animal has its own personality. Some are curious, some are playful, and yes...sometimes a donkey may decide to stop and smell the roses. Learning to work with and understand animals creates valuable lessons that extend far beyond the farm.

HOW IT WORKS

Your visit begins with a brief tour of the farm and an introduction to some of our smaller residents, including goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, and our overly friendly barn cats.

Then it's time to meet the stars of the show: Lee, Joy, and Apple!

After getting acquainted with your new four-legged friend, you'll head out on a leisurely walk through our scenic farm. Along the way you'll enjoy beautiful views, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of opportunities for photos, laughs, and unforgettable memories.

By the end of your visit, don't be surprised if you've made a new best friend—or three.
