That's great information. For me it worked because that donkey is more skiddish and reactive. If I tried it on the other 2 I think I might confuse them. So I recommend only doing on a donkey that runs a distance from you, not with a donkey that is only being a bit of an ***, pun intended.
That's the challenge of donkeys, they are more complex than horses and require a patient owner who is willing to figure out what each donkey needs to make him happy and cooperative.
Horses are easier I think, but are more dangerous because they bolt, rear and kick more often, and are more fearful. A donkey freezes, sometimes they drop down, and than they assess the situation.
You can take a whip to a horse and they will move away, a donkey probably won't, and you suddenly look like an abuser whipping a donkey because it doesn't often work on them.
