For sure 60 years old ? I knew donkeys can be over 30 -40 but 60 ? Incredible.

I had no idea a donkey could live that long! I just wanted to say I went to farrier school with Merlin Anderson up in Miles City Montana and learned to trim and shoe by the Natural Balance technique and I really appreciate you posting all this content on your channel.

Great advice about not trying to mechanically correct limb deviations. 💪😉 they are what they are after their bones are developed and set 👌

So wet here in New Zealand, my battle is thrush and white line disease. Sole tissue just flakes away. These hoove sspud so hard.

[@EDSSHoofcare]

If you can get ahold of Artimud, Hoof Stuff or Field Paste by Red Horse Products, they help a lot with thrush and white line issues. If the white line disease is really bad, you can also try to find some pure Oregano Oil and use that to treat it.
