I'M MEGAN.

aka: The Donkey Farrier

Leveraging 18 years of dedicated experience in donkey hoof trimming, I've created an unprecedented online course aimed at empowering donkey owners to confidently trim their donkeys' hooves themselves.

This unique course fills a crucial gap, offering a detailed, donkey-specific curriculum that guides owners through every step of the trimming process.

My mission is to elevate donkey welfare by providing owners with the tools and knowledge to ensure their donkeys receive the best possible care, fostering healthier, happier donkeys and stronger bonds between them and their caregivers.

What People Are Saying...

"I completed Megan Hensley’s donkey hoof trimming course. Not only did I learn how to trim donkey hooves, I learned about proper nutrition, in depth hoof anatomy, enriching their environment, donkey behavior, and common hoof issues along with how to treat them. In the last two months Oda Mae went from having difficulty walking to now running around. She is a totally different donkey than when she came to me in April! So happy and full of life. I am amazed at the progress in such a short time.
I am so glad that I found Holistic Hooves • The Donkey Farrier when I did."

Kristen Kagey

"I did Megan's online trimming course not knowing anything really about hooves. I have had my donkeys just over a year and now trim them confidently myself."

Bee Higgins

"I enrolled in an online trimming course for my mini mule with Holistic Hooves. Diesel is wary of everyone but me and no one could trim him without a battle. I am now trimming his hooves myself. And best news: he stands untied and gentle!!! Thank you Megan. You helped me... US do so much!!!"

Terry Hensley

"I just can’t say enough good things about it! This program is invaluable to anyone who is privileged enough to have donkeys in their lives. Her love, care and humor shine through in her presentations. Megan instills the knowledge and courage it takes to trim own your donkey or mule’s hooves, and gives you the map to having a happy donkey."

Ramona Krueger

"I took Megan's course several years ago and now trim not only my own donkeys, but also the donkeys that I train.
The online course was easy to understand and follow, with many great illustrations and one on one coaching. Thank you Megan, I'm forever grateful."
