Hoof Care Basics

Healthy hooves are the foundation of a sound donkey. A simple routine prevents most common problems.

Trim on Schedule

Most miniature donkeys need a farrier trim every 6–10 weeks. Establish a relationship with a farrier experienced in donkeys early on.

Pick Daily

Cleaning hooves daily lets you catch thrush, stones, or abscesses before they become serious — and keeps your donkey used to having their feet handled.
