The Online Course for Donkey Owners Who Are Ready to Become the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Their Donkey's Hooves

That is actually the most common starting point. The course includes a full liberty-based handling module specifically for this. Before you ever pick up a rasp, you learn how to build trust and communication with your donkey so they choose to participate. The handling work is where most owners see the biggest early shifts.

YouTube gives you isolated clips with no system behind them. This course gives you a framework: the right steps, in the right order, with the context to understand why each one matters for a donkey specifically. It is designed to take you from overwhelmed to confident, not just show you one thing one time.

Two reasons. First, most farriers are trained on horses, not donkeys. A significant portion of hoof issues in donkeys come from trims that work fine on a horse but are wrong for a donkey. Second, knowing how to assess and maintain your donkey's hooves between appointments makes every appointment more effective, and in many cases, less necessary.

Yes. Chronic hoof issues like laminitis, white line disease, and recurring abscesses are a big part of why this course exists. The holistic care curriculum addresses the dietary and lifestyle factors that drive these conditions. When you combine that with correct trimming, that is where real turnarounds happen.

The course covers exactly what you need so you are not guessing or overbuying. You do not need a professional setup to do this well.

Because of what is actually inside it. You get the full trimming course unlocked immediately, the complete Holistic Donkey Care Series, monthly live Q&A with me directly, and an active community of owners doing this alongside you. A single vet call for a laminitis episode costs more than a month here. One emergency farrier visit in a rural area often does too. The price reflects the depth of what you are getting, not a low-bar entry point. There is also an annual payment option available if you prefer to pay upfront for the full year — at a discounted rate.

That depends on where you are starting and how consistently you work through the material. Most students start to feel real confidence in the handling work within the first few weeks. Trimming skill builds from there. Owners who apply the full framework, including the nutrition and lifestyle pieces, tend to see the most dramatic hoof health improvements over a few months.
