Holistic Hooves | donkeyhooves.com
with Megan Hensley, The Donkey Farrier
A self-guided course built specifically for donkey owners, using the Donkey Hooves Done Right framework, so that you can trim your own donkey's hooves safely and correctly, make hiring a farrier optional, and turn trim day from your most dreaded hour into something you and your donkey actually do together.
Dreading trim day because you never know if your donkey will cooperate… to approaching hoof care with confidence, calm, and a donkey who lifts willingly.
Scrambling to find someone willing to work with a "difficult" donkey… to having a skill you can use any time, without waiting on anyone else's schedule.
Looking at your donkey's hooves and feeling lost… to knowing exactly what you're seeing, what's healthy, what needs attention, and what to do about it.
White-knuckling your way through a trim or putting it off entirely… to completing regular maintenance trims on your own, in your own paddock, with your own hands.

Tell me if this sounds like you…
You've called around and either no one comes out, or the one person who does show up and your donkey shuts completely down. Maybe there's a sedation conversation. Maybe you just skip it again. The hooves keep growing. You know it. You're watching it happen.
You've tried to find information. But everything out there is built for horses. The angles are different. The advice doesn't land. You walk away more confused than when you started.
Your donkey has been labeled difficult. Untrimmable. A problem. And somewhere in the back of your mind you're starting to wonder if they're right. Even though you know your donkey, and you know there's more going on than stubbornness.
You've considered sedation. You've considered selling. You've considered just leaving it and hoping for the best. None of those feel right. But you don't know what else to try.
That last part, not knowing what else to try, is not a character flaw. That's an information problem. And information problems are solvable.

How It Works
Three shifts. In order. They build on each other. This is not horse hoof care with a few adjustments. It is a framework built from the ground up for this specific animal.
Before you ever pick up a tool, you need to understand what you are looking at. In this phase you learn the anatomy, landmarks, and balance basics that guide every trim.
You cannot trim confidently what you cannot see clearly.
This is where the relationship lives. Using liberty-based handling and trust-based techniques, you learn how to build a foundation your donkey can actually say yes to. No restraints. No force. No fight.
You learn to read what your donkey is telling you and make hoof care something that happens with them instead of to them.
This is where the “my donkey is untrimmable” stories get rewritten.
Knowing what to trim, how much, when to stop, when something is outside your scope and needs a professional. That is what confidence in hoof care actually looks like. Not fearlessness. Informed decision making.
This is a learnable skill and you keep it for life.
This is the shift that makes farrier dependency optional. You’ll be the one making that call.
The shift

The visibility phase. Before you ever pick up a tool, you learn the anatomy, landmarks, and balance basics that guide every trim. This is the foundation that everything else builds on.

Your guide
I had spent 20+ years trimming donkeys the industry had written off. I was traveling the entire state of California. My inbox was full from around the world. Donkeys suffering and owners who had nothing. No information. No support. No guidance. Just a lot of love for their animal and no idea what to do with it.
I knew I could not get to all of them. So I made a decision that changed the direction of my entire career. I decided to teach owners to do this themselves. That was over 10 years ago. It has become the most important work I do.
My position has not changed: you are capable of this. Your donkey is capable of this. The information just has to be built for the animal you actually have. That's what this course is.
FAQ
What if I've never trimmed hooves before?
That's who this is built for. No experience required. The course starts at the foundation and builds from there.
What if my donkey is truly difficult?
I've heard that before. The donkeys labeled untrimmable inside this course are trimming quietly today. The framework starts with the relationship, not the tools. Most "difficult" donkeys are responding to an approach that doesn't account for how they actually think and communicate. That's fixable.
Is this self-guided?
Yes. You get instant access and you go at your own pace. There's no set schedule and no live calls required.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. Lifetime access for as long as the program is offered. One payment, no expiration.
What payment options are available?
Pay in full: $997 for lifetime access. Or spread it out: $199/month for 6 months. Both options available at checkout.
What if I have a unique situation?
The community has 500+ active members. The range of donkey situations, hoof conditions, and owner backgrounds inside this course is significant. If someone hasn't been through it, they've seen something close. Post your question and you'll hear from people who've been there.
The owners who get results are the ones who stopped waiting for someone else to solve it and started learning the thing themselves. That's what this course is here for.
