Discussing Natural Hoof & Horse Care 

DONKEYS NEED CARE TOO

I’ve seen neglected donkeys too many times. Most people don’t realize that they need constant hoof maintenance and proper diets, just like horses!

Donkeys require around 75% of calories that a horse would get. This makes them more prone to being overweight. If you been around many donkeys you’ll notice that a number of them tend to have an enormous hay belly, have a huge, pillow-like crest (fat pad), and crumbly, overgrown hooves. All of that is an emergency call! 

Restricting sugars and access to pasture, having a persistent hoofcare schedule and exercising them will improve their hoof and body health!
