Course details
This course will provide you with valuable information for trimming donkey feet and applying orthopaedic treatments to donkey feet through sharing the different techniques used by The Donkey Sanctuary farriers and veterinary surgeons.
By the end of the Hoof Trimming and Farriery course, you will be able to assess a donkey foot and describe if it is a healthy hoof or there is any chronic or acute disease/abnormality.
