I want to share a story about the journey and vision behind Donkey Hooves & Health Academy.
When I first launched this course in July of 2020, I faced significant pushback, especially from other farriers. Many criticized the idea of teaching donkey owners how to trim their own donkeys' hooves, arguing that it was a task best left to professionals.
But here’s the reality– countless donkey owners struggle to find experienced, compassionate farriers. This often leaves them feeling helpless and their donkeys without the care they desperately need.
That’s why I chose to break new ground and create the first and only online course dedicated exclusively to the unique needs of donkey hoof trimming, specifically designed for owners, not professional hoof care providers.
My mission is clear: to make hoof care accessible, empowering, and transformative for both donkeys and their caregivers.
It is now over 4 years since the launch of DIY Donkey Hoof Trimming, ( now part of the Donkey Hooves & Health Academy) , and I continue to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of my students. This course has enabled hundreds of donkey owners to dramatically improve their donkeys' comfort and health. These owners have embraced the knowledge and independence that comes with taking hoof trimming into their own hands, feeling empowered and confident. The trust and connection they’ve built with their donkeys have not only improved care but also deepened their relationships, making the journey profoundly rewarding for both, leading to happier, healthier donkeys.
Take Chelsea Shoneck's experience, for example: “๐๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ, ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐จ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐. ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐’๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐จ. ๐ฟ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐!!! ๐๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ’๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฉ.”

Or Trisha Hopps, who shared, “๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐๐ก! ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐๐ช๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐ง, ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ง. ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐จ, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐จ!! ๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐.”
