History of the Clementine Freight & Delivery Service


Nip and Tuck are a matched pair of Mammoth Jack Stock geldings. They are eight years old and came to Dallas Heritage Village from the farm of Ken and Linda Adams in Ellaville, Georgia.



Nip and Tuck are half-brothers. Nip was born in June 1996 and Tuck was born in October 1996. The idea for their names came from 2 bird dog puppies Mrs. Adams' parents owned when they were first married. Merriam-Webster's On-line Dictionary tells us that the term 'nip and tuck' dates from 1832 and refers to individuals or opponents that are nearly equivalent or 'neck and neck'.

Nip and Tuck's job at Dallas Heritage Village will be to pull our wagonette and buckboard. They will give visitors rides around the village and help with deliveries.

The noise a donkey makes is called a BRAY. A donkey's bray can travel a long distance, sometimes being heard 2 miles away!



Mammoth Jack Stock are one of the largest breeds of donkey in the world, with males standing at least 56" at the shoulders. This breed was developed in the US in the late 1700's by none other than George Washington. Washington's goal was to develop a large donkey to breed with horses to produce large draft-size mules for heavy work. Today the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists Mammoth Jack Stock as a rare breed, with an estimated global population of less than 5,000.

You can tell Nip and Tuck apart by looking at their foreheads. Nip has a white spot on his forehead.
