Heirass
Heirass is being gentled as part of the Humane Society’s Platero Project. She is a 4yo Jenny gathered from Slate Range HMA in California on 08/31/2012. She will be halter started, lead, pick up all four feet and load into a trailer. This page will provide potential adopters with information about her training. The Humane Society of the United States’ Platero Project is a grant funded project solely dedicated to the advocacy and protection of wild burros. The aim of the project is to develop partnerships and programs to research the effectiveness of contraceptive vaccine on wild burro herds and to reduce the number of wild burros currently living in BLM holding areas, by increasing adoptions and relocating difficult to place burros to sanctuaries. The project was financed by a donor who cares deeply about the humane treatment of burros, and is named for the Spanish Nobel Laureate Juan Ramon Jimenez’s book about a faithful and friendly donkey named Platero.Can be haltered:

We’ve done lots of carrot work with this girl and she is getting much better about being touched. Heirass was haltered yesterday for the first time and learned to tie very quickly. We will start teaching her to lead very soon.
