You might need a permit, also what type of zebra is it, it might matter to the Endangered species act.

if you adopt the zebra, ask the fella if the mini horse is the zebra's buddy. It might be best if so, to adopt both.

 

Wow, what a fabulous opportunity! Zebras are probably easy keepers so go easy on the feed! They probably only need hay and regular worming. Check also with your Vet to get a professional opinon for any special care.

 

I've heard that they can be kind of nasty and obnoxious and injure quite a few animal keepers in zoos. However, if this one has been a pet and a few generations of captivity, it may be different. A zebra competed in the Old Dominion endurance ride a few years back in the 25 mile division so they can be trained to ride. If you have the room and can afford it, go for it. But remember, there IS a reason that no African tribes ever launched a "zebra cavalry." They don't domesticate as awell as horses.

 

Zebras are like an ill tempered donkey. Unluckily few horsemen work with them. Most are raised by non horsey people as pets. Because of mishandling few are ever safe around a child. Most are unsafe for adults. There is always a possibility this one is one of the correctly handled ones but the chances are slim.

Years ago my neighbor was given a cute little donkey. She would come right up everyone. She would check them out for treats. If no treats appear or if she was done with one she would then wheel around and kick with both hinds....
