HAVING WORKED PRIMARILY WITH HORSES AND ONLY OCCASIONALLY WITH A COUPLE DONKEYS, MY TAKE ON THE TEMPERAMENT IS THIS

DONKEYS WILL REMEMBER SOMEONE BEING MEAN TO THEM FOR LONGER AND WILL TRY TO GET REVENGE SOMETIME AT AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT

HORSES WILL TOO BUT SHORTER TERM AND MORE IMMEDIATELY

DONKEYS ARE ALSO MORE MODERATE AND WILL UNDERSTAND THE GAME PLAN AND IF THEY HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT WILL WORK WITH YOU ON A COMPROMISE

LIKE IF A DONKEY DOESNT WANNA CROSS A STREAM -- YOU WONT GOAD IT TO CROSS IT, BUT IF YOU GET OFF YOU CAN LEAD IT ACROSS AND IT WILL BE FINE

IF A HORSE DOESNT WANNA CROSS THAT STREAM -- YOU CAN PUNT IT OVER WITH PERSISTENCE AND BY JUST WEARING THE RETARD DOWN, WHILE GETTING OFF AND TRYING TO LEAD IT CAN BE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO RIP AWAY AND RUN BACK TO THE STABLES HAVING FUN ALL THE WAY

IF YOU PUNT THE RETARD ACROSS AND YOU HAVE FUN BEFORE YOU GET BACK -- YOU'RE COOL AND THE HORSE WILL FORGET THE GRUDGE

IF THE FUN WAS INSUFFICIENT THE HORSE WILL TRY TO FUCK YOU OVER IN A WAY THAT MAY FUCK ITSELF AND THE REST OF THE GROUP OVER TOO, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, OUT OF SPITE

FINALLY, DONKEYS DONT MAKE UP RETARDED SHIT FOR FUN

A HORSE CAN PRETEND A GARDEN HOSE IS A SNAKE THAT IT JUST SAW RIGHT AS IT WAS UNDER ITS FEET AND NOW IT HAS TO BOLT SIDEWAYS FROM UNDER YOU

IF A DONKEY THINKS THE GARDEN HOSE IS A SNAKE -- ITS NOT MAKING IT UP TO HAVE A FUN TIME, IT GENUINELY THINKS THERES A THREAT TO IT AND TO YOU, IT WILL SEE IT FROM TWENTY YARDS AWAY, STOP, REFUSE TO APPROACH, MAYBE BRAY AT IT

AND IF YOU WALK TO IT AND MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY THE DONKEY WILL BE LIKE OH FALSE ALARM AND WILL BE NORMAL
