One thing most owners don’t know is diet, illness, stress, pain, etc… it all shows up in the feet.
This is my donkey Tostito’s hoof.
His diet initially consisted of miniature horse feed before he came to me, shown below the blue line.
In September, shown between the blue line and red line, he was switched to Kis trace minerals and a small amount of crypto aero (a forage based feed).
In November, between red and yellow, he stayed on the same feed, but was diagnosed with PPID and started on Prascend.
Finally in December, shown above the yellow line, he was switched to Bermuda pellets with his Kis Trace minerals.
Can’t wait to see this grow out! Healthy hooves for the win! 💕

Tostito would like to remind everyone that donkey coats aren’t built for the cold/wet climates!
Donkeys being very stoic in nature often won’t start shivering until they are already very cold. If you’re blanketing your horse, your donkey is more than ready for one too!

I had some interesting helpers for sweet Vinny’s trim today ❤️
Vinny had very overgrown hooves and did not like having his feet handled when I started with him. His owner put a lot of work into touching his feet and consistently treating white line disease. Today was his 3rd trim with no sedation! Good boy!

4 month progress report 🙌 Still quite a bit of work to do, but both horses are moving in the right direction ❤️

Today’s long project ❤️
Before trim:
Owner reported lame, cannot walk across gravel at all, and has a complete loss of personality. We did not have this poor guy walk across the gravel before his trim for me.

For the trim, he was licking and chewing after each foot was put down and did a big stretch after trimming both fronts.

After composites:
This guy was stretching out his neck and jaw, and yawning. He was able to walk across gravel but still sore, moving significantly better in the barn. The best part is he regained his personality with the shoes on, he even took my hat off 😅.

He will be going into boots on all 4 by next cycle and be trimmed every 4 weeks to continue working on getting those toes and heels back where they belong!

Videos will be in the comments!

This poor guy is only 3 years old and finished his last race in April.
Today, we pulled shoes and went with a very conservative trim to address his heels and toes. Already a little improvement, but we will likely be taking a composite shoe route to lift his heels after his white line infection has cleared up.

I had a wonderful weekend learning at this year’s APC! Definitely have some new skills to apply! ❤️
