They are used as pack- and working animals, but also as a draught- and riding animal. Amiatina-donkeys have a height at withers of 1,25m - 1,40m. The coat is grey with eelstripe and shouldercross. belly, mouth and rings around the eyes are blond. Asino Amiatina is persistent and resistent against diseases. It survives in harsh conditions |
