In this full emergency farm call, Kate tackles a severe case of neglected donkey feet where the hoof wall has curled completely upward on both sides, creating what trimmers call a taco hoof.
When a hoof deforms like this, the internal structures and bones become severely misaligned, creating painful leverage forces and making every step agonizing. Kate takes you step by step through the full evaluation, showing exactly where the distortion starts, how to safely bring back the overgrown walls and heels, and how to set the foot up so the donkey can walk sound and comfortably again.
If you have a horse, pony, or donkey struggling with balance, abscesses, or long term hoof issues, visit katebarefoothoofcare.com to book a digital consultation and have Kate examine your equine's hooves.
