🚨🐴 JD vs. The Farrier: The Main Event 🐴🚨
Today was a big day for our newest handsome guy, JD — it was time for a hoof trim!
Now, JD has had farrier work done in the past, but after seeing his hooves today, it’s clear they were never properly trimmed. And honestly… after today’s performance, we can understand why. 😅
Let’s just say JD woke up this morning and chose chaos.
What should have been a routine hoof trim quickly turned into an intense negotiation between JD and reality. There was pulling, leaning, protesting, dramatic donkey opinions, and enough stubbornness to power a small city. 🤦♀️😂
But thanks to the patience, determination, and sheer willpower of Ben, along with help from Owen and Jay, the battle was won. After nearly an hour of donkey shenanigans, JD’s hooves are finally looking the way they should!
A huge shout-out to Ben for reminding JD that while he may be the boss of his stall, he was not the boss of today’s hoof trim. 🏆
Unfortunately, years of improper hoof care have left JD with some deformities in his feet caused by overgrowth. The good news is that now that he’s receiving proper care, we’re hopeful that with time, patience, and consistent trims every 6 weeks, we will see significant improvement.
JD may have tested everyone’s patience today, but that’s okay. Healing isn’t always pretty, and sometimes it comes with four hooves and a whole lot of attitude. ❤️
Please join us in thanking Ben, Owen, and Jay for sticking it out and helping this stubborn boy take another important step toward a healthier future.
