Holly the Donkey

This is Holly. The only donkey that I can say that I enjoy trimming it's feet. Yes I also look after a few donkeys.
They are dumb animals ( at least that's what I think ) they never learn. One way to get them to stand is you SCREW their ear. However don't forget that you must SCREW the side you are working on or it's brain won't cope.
Holly is owned by Sue and Mark. One day about 3 years ago I was shoeing a horse for a friend of theirs and this woman ( Jenny )decided to have Holly's hooves trimmed to say thanks to them.
Following this trim Jenny went for a ride on her newly shod horse and along trotted Holly. The first time she had ever done this. So now Sue ensures that Holly is trimmed on a regular basis and heaven help me if I am late.
