D/C EXTREME HOOF GROWTH | FOUNDERED DONKEY GETS A TRIM [Back Feet]

Register for the "In-Person" Shoeing Class (26 August 2023) and Barefoot Trimming Class (18 November 2023) 👉 www.cappeltrainingandshoeing....
This Donkey has been running out free for a while and his feet got extremely overgrown, so he's here with me to get his feet trimmed. He's laminitic and foundered and what you'll see here is a rapid transformation of distortion.
Note the way to work with a donkey or mule is a little different to working with a horse, as the donkey/mule responds and reacts differently to the horse when working with them, and so the communication and handling needs to be adapted to what works for them.

Dennis, You are the model for what I call "Peaceful Togetherness"

[@dalelamminen7942]

Dennis: I just recently discovered your channel. How refreshing to find a trainer without some kind of axe to grind or one that doesn't have to "prove" something. I, like you is a little long in tooth, I am 83 years old. Have been a farmer for most of my adult life. I have been a local (that's local not loco) horse trainer for 5 decades. I would like to make a request of you. Could you spend some time on one of your broadcasts informing horse owners that in 99% of training we aren't training our horses to do anything. 99% of the maneuvers we want our horse to perform it can do by the time it is two weeks old. What we are doing is generating a communication method so that when we present a horse with a certain cue it will perform one of those actions. We may refine it by repetition but the principle movement it already knows how to perform. When a person used to bring me a horse to train. I would ask what they want the horse to do and they might say "teach it how to sidepass" I would say I can't. He can already do that. The puzzled look on the owners face was priceless. Seriuosly, it is important that horse owners understand that it is important when they take their horse home they understand that they must know the cues the horse was trained to respond to, and how apply them. Some cues we spend days teaching can be undone in minutes by untrained owners.

Thank you Sir ! You are exactly right and I’ll see if I can’t put a video together covering that !
I appreciate you being with us .

[@christinecrighton9118]

Thank you for what you do!

[@scrutinizer]

Doing the good work Dennis. Happy to see dedicated folks like yourself taking on the hard ones. I've watched what it takes to bring the front feet back from that condition. Grateful for your ability and resolve to make a difference in the life of an animal that finds its self needing help.

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thank you

We have a Shoeing course coming up, link in the Pinned Comment to see the details or email us if you have questions.

What a beautiful donkey! So glad you're able to get his feet back to normal, and it's nice that you took the time to get him used to being handled.

[@clayoreilly4553]

That donkey was very patient while you were working on him. It is almost painful to see donkeys or horses in that sad condition, but it is good to know that there are people like yourself who can get them back up on their feet. Good job. And I am certain that donkey will agree on that.

That was very interesting to see how calm he became, he really flinched when your hand went toward him at first. What a help you were to him!

[@KingsMom831]

Love you videos!
Thank you for helping educate and for sharing you knowledge/experience.

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thank you

[@kennywilkes6978]

I sure hope the younger generations are learning these skills ?

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

I still think I’m in the younger generation so I suppose we are . Lol

[@renatocensi3036]

Maniscalco eccezionale

[@Livstarling]

I agree 💯! He really is an outstanding farrier and horseman!

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Grazie! è bello averti con noi! 😊

[@TheEmpressMouse]

Respect the animals and they’ll respect you. They have so much love to give. Does a twitch work for a donkey? Sure helps when it’s a horse’s first trim.

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

I’m not much of a twitch fan , however they can be used effectively. A twitched animal will usually be in a tense state of mind which makes anything you want to do with them challenging .

How could this poor animal get in this shape
