Anyone know about Donkeys?

When I was around 8 years old I saw my Uncle coming through the fence to the field behind our place,carrying his son Andy who was about 3 then and his other son Rick walked along side.
It looked like Andy had bright ribbon in his blonde hair til we got closer and saw he was limp and covered with blood on his face and arms.
My Uncle was loading his truck with manure from the barn and Adeline,the Donkey took a dislike to the boys and knocked them both down and stomped Andy,while Rick was able to roll out of the way.My Uncle had to beat and stab Adeline with the fork to get in and grab Andy.

The donkey must learn who is the boss and who is not. Right now, she is the boss at your house, and will continue to be until you convince her otherwise....    She wants to hurt you, hurt her back more until she understands the lesson.

If she decides to bite, I learned from a horse lady, that a sharp uppercut to her chin (she won't be able to see it coming) will sop the biting. This tactic won't make her head shy, because if done correctly she will not see your fist coming up under her chin. She will just know that every time she takes a bite, she gets whacked and it hurts.

Tough love!
