| About the American Donkey and Mule Society |
| The ADMS was founded in 1967 in order to promote and support donkeys and mules in the US and worldwide. The founder, Paul and Betsy Hutchins, have devoted both their lives and their homes to these long-eared equines. The ADMS has grown from a single-typewriter volunteer operation to multicomputer and paid staff. The journal of the ADMS is the BRAYER magazine published bi-monthly. |
