Getting our hooves trimmed

Lady resting her head

It's the first day of Donkey Week and I'm so excited. I'm normally the first donkey out on the Main Yard, but today I have to wait my turn to meet all the donkey weekers because me and my best friend, Lady, are having our feet trimmed.

Poor Lady had quite a bit of seedy toe cut out last time, but I overheard Colin say to our groom, Emma, that he's pleased with her hooves and looks like she's walking quite well.

It was my turn to begin with, but as I'm a nosy donkey, I'm always wandering off looking for things to do and Emma had to keep catching me. With one hoof trimmed, I trotted off into the distance while Lady stood patiently waiting her turn. Emma didn't mind of course because she knew I would be back... eventually!

With our hooves all trimmed and wearing our new plastic shoes, we made our way out into the field where I couldn't wait to paw at the ground and have a really good roll in the dirt!
