Healthier Hooves + Happier Donkeys Starts Here

Most trimming approaches aren’t built for how donkeys actually think, respond, and protect themselves.

They process pressure, trust, timing, and learning differently — which is why many donkeys refuse, shut down, need sedation, or can’t tolerate rushed or force-based handling, even with experienced farriers.

I used to see owners struggle for years — until they learned my donkey-first way of approaching trimming that works with the animal instead of against them.

Now we:

✅ Know what actually matters during a trim

✅ Build cooperation over time through real connection

✅ Catch hoof problems early instead of reacting in crisis

✅ Rehab and restore chronically unhealthy hooves

✅ Support long-term hoof health with better trimming decisions

👋 I’m Megan Hensley — The Donkey Farrier, as seen on ABC’s Donkey King.

This is my step-by-step framework built from real donkeys, real trims, and two decades of hands-on experience.
