  • Today we're in northern Idaho trimming a neglected donkey. From start to finish, this took me about an hour and I was happy with the end result and being able to help out this little donkey. Let us know what you think down in the comments and click the link below to see the second part of the video.

    For "you hurting him" comments. Imagine you have 2-3 inches long ingrown toenails. It's painful af, so you probably cut them off, go to doc or something and don't be like "this is natural". Pain isn't natural. The same thing is here - he helped this poor animal.

      Right. Natural would mean it would have had enough exercise to wear its hooves out without intervention.

      And if it did hurt, the donkey would surely kick the man and try to get away. I thought it was common knowledge that hooves are equivalent to finger nails... until I came to the comment section of these types of videos. People are so damn dumb

    I see several suggestions in the comments of 'use a saw', 'use a grinder', etc., and in this case it's obvious that those were viable options. (watch to the end). However you must keep two things in mind;
    1. These are strong animals with a mind of their own. They are usually desensitized to having their hooves nipped and rasped but, mostly likely, not to having a grinder or a saw applied to them. In some cases, it is the equine's reluctance to allow their feet to be dealt with that leads to this sort of condition in the first place. As I stated in an earlier comment, Cow hoof nippers are the best way to start I have ever seen. They allow twice the leverage due to their longer handle length, allow the animal's foot to remain on the ground and allow the farrier remain out from under the animal.
    2. Grinders, and some saws you might be tempted to use, would need access to power. Often this means stretching a cord from some outlet to the the works space. Believe it or not, the movement of dealing with that cord can set off an animal. At that point you have a strong excited dancing animal, a whirling or reciprocating blade, at least two laceration-prone animals and a cord. Which is now trying to constrain all to encourage one to meet the other. In this video he resorted to a hand saw for the back feet. While this is a better option, and in this case, the animal dealt with it fine. You cannot expect that the animal will always accept new (to them) sights, sounds or sensations. Grinders, in particular, offer the animal all three.
    Just remember, you're trying to help this animal. You want to accomplish this in as safe and least stressful manner as possible. Mostly for them, but also for your farrier and yourself.

      There’s a new thing you may not have heard of. It’s called a battery. I used to work with a farrier. You put the animal in cross ties and have someone hold up the opposite leg. It came up in pain and lame from the force and twisting. If its afraid of the sound, you get it mildly sedated. He could have blindly cut into flesh this way. With hood that hard, its easy to split the hoof into the Corona using that much force. He admitted inexperience. Should have at least tried to contact someone with experience.

Their hooves always looked nice. I was a skinny 90 lb girl. I hear you breathing hard and realize I was a very strong girl! 😂 I can’t imagine doing that today at 65.

You call enough and somebody will listen. I have no sympathy for no one but the animals. Someone should be held accountable and I don't care who it is. I bet family or friends showed up after he kicked off. There is a special place in hell for people that let this happen to the animals.

    after going to school for horses and working on a horse farm and learning so much about proper care of horses hooves from my boss who shod horses, i had the bless fortune of meeting a poor little pony with curled up hooves, the little guy was so sad he could hardly walk, i drove for over an hour home to get my tools and came back and trimmed his hooves, his sadness never changed as i trimmed away his fairy shoes he just stood there, when i finished the last foot and untied him he took off running, kicking up his hind feet in the air and jumping, i guess he was happy, 😄we all were. working on that horse farm was the best job i have ever had, i was in my late teens then and i'm 70 now, i love horses and horses can tell when they are loved.

      Yes, it’s very nerve wracking! If you own horses/donkeys/mules you always gotta make sure the person working on their hooves knows what they’re doing. Very basic cleaning care should be done by the owner fairly often, and you always want to make sure you have a professional come work on them on a regular sort of schedule based on the animal’s need.

      Ally Jackson yes dogs do eat them!! But make sure you wash them before you give them to your pup, it can really hurt them and make them need a stomach pumping if not.

    I’m sure the donkey wanted them gone so much and knew you were helping him
    I found a pony in a paddock just like this along time ago. Got a farrier to cut and trim him up too that pony was so happy. I confronted the elderly owner..... she said that she believed they drop off. I was disgusted.

      I knew this woman who had ponies like this she was about 60 years old and the ponies were hers and her brother’s as children! We got a farrier out to trim them . These donkies had nothing on the ponies.

    I drive an elderly gentleman to a thoroughbred retirement farm in eastern Iowa several times a week where he's adopted three of the horses.
    Amongst the 35 horses, there's also a mini and a donkey and they're two of my favorites out of the while bunch out there. I'm glad this little guy got his feet taken care of and to my albeit untrained eye, you did a helluva job for him.

      @@orundestiunpre2944 nope! The way these hooves grew put a lot of stress on his heels and caused A LOT of tork on his toes when he stepped. in a well trimmed foot, a horse should be landing with its hoof flat against the ground- not toe nor heel first. However, judging by the weight on this donkeys toes, its a pretty easy deduction that hes probably landing toe first. This leads to pain when he walks, and just when he stands in general. this is also why you see spots of "old" blood or bruising in the video- from the stress put on the laminae and hoof wall from such overgrown hooves! (not to mention the stress on joints, as well.)

    If you end up getting another case like this, try using a saw blade such as you would use on PVC piping, i used one on a goat with massively overgrown hooves, because my trimmers would not cut through the hardened excess, but the pvc saw blade worked better than the metal hack saw blade.

      In farrier school, we were told to use a hacksaw blade. I never did any hooves this bad, just one also way too long, but it had more hoof form to work with. I was just out of school and was freaking when l ran into blood pools. But it came out all right. I'm a Wyoming farrier
