I think they would be great, but I would worry about donkey stepping on them...what do you think?

If you get one from a good breeder, at a young age , they will follow you and Donkey and be your best buddy. Good luck in your decision making, but i rooting for your daughter, lol

Welcome to Backyard Herds! What a precious little mini-donkey you have! We have goats, chickens and ducks. We used to have a cranky turkey hen, but she recently passed away. I don’t have any experience with donkeys.
Where abouts do you live in East Texas? There are several of us in the general vacinity. We occasionally get together for a meal and fun conversation. DH and I are retired (well, actually that’s a misnomer
). It’s almost impossible to live on a farm and not work. 
Anyway, we live not too far from Pickton, if you know where that is.
I don’t know anyone with donkeys, however we occasionally see donkeys grazing in fields, as we drive around. None of them are mini’s though.

Two goats would be best (doe's ) if he is not intact, or you could get wethers (less expensive than doe's ) the kids learn fast, move quick ...and will adjust to Donkeys "graceful " walking .
