I have written the book as it has become clear to me
over the years that throughout the world there is not enough time spent
teaching the differences between a horses and a donkeys foot. The problem with
this is that there are many, many donkeys worldwide being trimmed as if they
were a horse, leading to hoof problems and lameness.
I have been shoeing horses for more than 15 years and
have in the last 5+ years specialized in the trimming and orthopaedic shoeing
of donkeys. A field that for one reason or another not many people specialize
in.
I have worked in many different countries for
different animal welfare organizations that rescue and find loving homes for
mistreated and over worked animals. This work has introduced me to many different
kinds of hoof problems. It still surprises me in this day and age the condition
of the feet of some of the donkeys that I treat.
