~54 years of Equine Experience~

~19 years of Mini-Donkey/Goat Experience~

Arcadian Exotics started in Mercer, PA in 1959

We were originally called Arcadian Arabians as we were raising Arabian horses then.  In about 1990, Gert developed Rhumatoid Arthritis and could no longer handle the horses, so we "downsized".  We sold the Arabians and buried our last two mares at 34 years of age each.  That is when we started into Miniature Donkeys and Pygmy Goats in 1994, which are much smaller and easier to handle.  We gradually acquired to breeding stock in the donkeys.  Our Sires are Cobra's Rudy, Bluegrass Mr. O'Neal and three of Dewey Meadows Valentino's sons Arcadian Jet, Arcadian Supreme, & Arcadian Votaire. Along with some excellent jennets we began producing some very fine donkeys.
