Hi Tullywood,
Have tried posting photo's but I keep getting file to big, I've reduced it down in Kodak software as best for web site but its still telling me its to large!! Give me animals anyday over pc's!! Sounds as though your farriers got it sorted,a donkeys hoove should be trimmed at 60 degrees compared to a horse's at 45 degrees.. What I meant about the straw is that they should have good clean barley straw available at all times, its ok to feed hay, we do, but the straw helps there complex digestive system, you'll find they will probably go for the straw first rather than the hay. They are browsers rather than grazers and you should limit the grass available to them as they will get to fat. Also if you want to feed them "hard grub" there is a specific bagged feed available for donkeys now its called Saracen Donkey Diet, its the only feed made specifically for donkeys with all the right nutrients, normal horse feed is too much for them. Also a feed shelter is a must unless you want to bring them in every time it rains, a donkeys coat is not waterproof like a horse's and they will soon get wet and cold and all the associated problems that brings, Iv'e seen some awful donkeys over the years suffering from rain scald.
Any questions please ask away....
