Please make sure grass has not been treated with pesticides at minimum 48 hours prior to event or let us know it has been so we can bring appropriate material to protect animals.

How much time is needed for set up and clean up?
You are not charged for the additional time required for set up and clean up. It takes approximately 60-90 minutes for each.
Also keep in mind that animals are living beings and will use the bathroom. We will clean up afterwards the best we can but keep in mind that goat and rabbit dropping are sometimes too small to clean up and are natural fertilizers. As well as hooves and snouts may cause minor damage to grass, it does not cause permeant damage.
If you would like us to use a tarp to keep animals from messing up any grass, please let us know. There may be a small additional fee for supplies.

Additional Beverage Burro Frequently Asked Questions
What is the carrying capacity of donkeys?
A general guideline suggests that a burro should not carry more than 20% to 25% of its body weight.

We do not provide alcohol, beverages, or ice for the event. It is the responsibility of the venue or client to arrange for these items. However, we do supply the donkey and pack coolers for transporting the beverages.
Do the donkeys make a "mess"?
They are living creatures and can have make "messes" sometimes. We quickly clean up any messes. For indoor events or if requested for outdoor events, we can use a discreet dung-bag.
Will my event venue allow and accommodate a donkey?
It is advisable and your responsibility to notify the event venue in advance to obtain approval for all vendors. No refund will be granted for those not receiving permission prior to the event.
