Nice, Kara, The pony running around and the donkey just taking a break. We just need to know when to behave like the pony or the donkey.

Baby Donkeys and Baby Horses are both called Foals.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

This is crazy! These animals are inspiring. I’ve been obsessed with “the racehorse and the donkey” and I’m like was this explained in a Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling essay or an episode of Absolutely Fabulous? Was also deep diving on mules and hinnys

Oh! How did you know I needed this one today? Thank you, Kara, for these wonderfully apt metaphors. I'm grabbing hold of the "wild pony" and "peaceful donkey" images and meaning. Embracing them both wholeheartedly.
