Donk feet! Going to trim...advice??

appellativo · Donk feet! Going to trim...advice??

A lady has just moved here from out of state and she has a donkey that she got back (owned it in the past sometime) and it had been neglected/foundered. I told this lady I've never done a donk's feet much less worked on a foundered horse, but she is convinced she wants me to do her donk's feet.

As far as I know, all the same landmarks/principles still apply...plus her friend who knows donks very well is going to view pics (from afar) and consult me.

Is there anything I should know before I take this on? Should I have the owner sign a waiver, ha ha!!??

Follow landmarks, Trim to the hoof, I am sure you will be conservative, I highly recommend you take tons of photos from every angle and study them closely before going too crazy. There are also some good pics of wild donkey feet on the web. I will try to find a link. Donkeys and mules tend to have really thick walls and can be prone to contract.

Here ya go...
