Poor little donkey 🐴, you could see how much pain he was in. Thank you for fixing his hoofs, what a difference it made. He is walking 100% better.
Thank you!
Is there anything that can be done for the tendons other than praying? Our rescue got a quarter horse recently with a very similar overgrown and bent back opposite hoof issue from neglect. She had got to where she couldn't barely walk at all even to get food and was underweight. They'd left her in a field and would throw hay in but she was in with cows and they were eating all the hay first. Finally a neighbor contacted my rescue and they signed the horse over to us. We were able to remodel the hoof itself and it now lays flat approx like you'd want but she won't put much weight on that foot and it's been over a month with little to no sign of improvement. She is tough as nails and will stand and eat but ability to walk is not good. I recognize that we may not be able to solve this one but I thought I'd ask if you knew any methods we could try, thank you. @@olsenequinecjf
One appointment and he goes from walking on a rolled ankle to a completely normal stride, not even any limping. Such a huge difference in such a short time. I hope he gets a follow-up appointment at some point to get that hoof trimmed more into the correct shape, but he's already so, so much better!
It wouldn't have been quick, the donkey would need months for realignment. They have shown their work in condensed format for the audience.
I was going to say the same. There's no way he's going to be sound immediately after that trim. It will take a huge amount of time for rebuilding of tendons, muscle, other connective tissues. Plus it will be at least 2 to 3 more trims until he's dialed in to the point where he can handle any type of distance or with load. It just takes time to heal from where he was at.
@@JM-nt5fm I would like to know who long it took to get him walking well.
@@Yvonne_ozlife There's a Chinese man doing hoof "chops" on CZcams and he would have solved this donkey's problem in 5 minutes without an x-ray and with no fancy tools.
@@TheKomentor Yep, because people on the Internet can always recommend the perfect answer based on some random video from some random dude on CZcams.
Or not.
Donkeys have always held a special place in my heart. They are often beaten, abused and mistreated in spite of being kind creatures. ❤
Thank you for helping him!!!
Thank you for helping this donkey and relieving him of the pain he was suffering. It's sad that he was allowed to go this long❤
Thank you sir! We love getting to help these animals feel better!
Considering how important hooves are to equines and other hoofed animals, this kind of neglect makes me SO angry. There is no excuse for it. Thank you for helping out this sweet little fella.
What would they do in nature? Just die?
How do they trim them in the wild? I don’t understand
@@erockstoenescu6171 "Most wild horses don’t need horseshoes for a couple of reasons. First, they have genetically tough, strong, healthy hooves, so they don’t need to protect their feet. Second, wild horses’ hooves are constantly worn down by running and walking on hard surfaces."

@@erockstoenescu6171 There is no such thing as a wild donkey
It's incredible how patient and calm the donkey is while all the cutting, with mechanical tools, is going on.
I think it was just thinking "About bloody time!"
its either going thank you or couldnt be worse.
Most likely drugged for safety.
@@JM-nt5fm I was thinking the same.
They'll have given the donkey some meds to make him as docile as possible without losing coordination; and also some major anti-inflammatories to decrease the pain as much as possible in the moment.
Thank you for helping this donkey. God’s creatures need our care .
I'm always amazed by how much you can take off. It's also crazy just how well behaved this little guy was. Not afraid of the sound of the saw at all.
This man is a guardian Angel!!
Felicidades y gracias por acondicionar estos animales, que imagina tantas horas de pie
Poor baby . Thank you for what you did for this donkey in so much pain.❤️

oh that's exactly what I said.
Yes, poor donkey but they fixed it. Kudos to them.

The fact that the donkey seems so calm and accepting during what would be a very loud and weird-feeling process, to me proves that he knows he’s in capable hands and is grateful. It’s impressive he’s so receptive to this much human touch considering he’s been neglected for so long.
I think animals that are in that much pain and can’t walk easily also just tend to be submissive.
@@ShintogaDeathAngel Donkeys are domesticated animals... would not advice to ignore this fact especialy if you thinking about helping animal that can easly kill you.
My favorite part of this video was after the initial cut. Even though he couldn’t put his heel all the way down, you could see him slowly put weight on his toe. You know it was the first time he got to do that in years, and it had to be a huge relief.
The neglect here is terrible, but the progress you made in one session is incredible.
Thank you for saving his foot and probably his life. ❤😊
Thank you very much!
Thank you. I needed this today, to believe in the good in people.
Did you cut your own or did someone else do it for you? I hope yours weren't that bad.
Honestly
How do people just neglect their animals and walk pass them as if nothing is wrong?!
If you can't care for your animals find someone who can!
Great job getting that donkey comfortable and enjoying life again.👍
Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲👍🦘🐨👍🇭🇲🇺🇸
Unbelievable indeed . So sad for this Donkey in pain so long . Greats from the Netherlands .
Difficile à comprendre
I always wonder about that but ya gotta consider how rural places all over the world are getting older and less populated. I always hear about rural hospitals closing and think about all the aging farmers and other folks who might not be able to take care of themselves anymore, let alone their animals.
@@stephenbrand5661
I understand that and at least it's not usually an act of neglect on purpose.
I'm more annoyed at the owner's of animals that can do something about it rather than just ignore it !!
Your a better person if you can act on the situation and own up to being unable to care for them .
The Neglect! So sad.
Thank you for launching this Grey Fella on the right path again.
It made me want to cry seeing the poor animal trying to walk with it's foot so overgrown. So glad to see you helped it so much. Thank you for taking care of it's needs so well.
The dramatic difference in his walking was amazing. Honestly most people would put him down with how severe founder and club he was. Great job and great video.
Thank you, he’s still doing good!
Wow ! I didn’t think he would ever walk normally again ?! Well done guys 👍🏼💕
My goodness, that poor animal!
It was such a relief to see it walking properly in the end...
Well Done! ❤❤
Thank you maam! We appreciate your comment!
What a difference you made! This poor fellow was suffering so badly. People can be so cruel. Thank goodness for folks like you and your crew! Liked and subbed.
Not always the owners being cruel ...we can't get get shoers to show up for appointments...no call no show ..and we live in northwest Iowa
Thank you for helping this poor little donkey xx God bless you xx
Thank you, he’s still doing good!
Amazing- your expertise gave this donkey a new stride without pain.
😊
Thank you very much! It is our main goal to make these animals more comfortable and happy!
Joy to see that little fella walking properly after you helped him, absolute joy! Thank goodness for people like you, he has a life worth living now 🤗
Even 5 years ago this donkey would have been hopeless. Your courage and the combination of various tech have shown that these lives can be saved. Bless you, man, for making the effort and setting the direction for future saves.
Thank you, he’s still doing good!
Wow that’s the most severe angle I’ve ever seen! Sweet baby, I’m sure he’s so so relieved! Thank you thank goodness he found you!
Wow that was amazing and what a difference that made to the Donkey's quality of life. That must make you feel good knowing that you have made that animal's life so much better
Every animal deserves better life. I never understood why someone need animals if can’t take care of them. 😢
Thank you guys for helping 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's a calm donkey. I had a donkey for many years until he passed from old age. Trimming his feet was an Act of Congress.....but my blacksmith was very patient and we got it done. I always kept my horses feet trimmed.
Thank you! thank you! thank you! You just changed this sweet donkey’s entire life, and possibly even saved his life! I love how you took the X-ray to make sure what was going on internally and be able to cut in the best places.
Thank you, he’s still doing good!

You wonderful person. As a person who regularly supports the rescue of donkeys and horses, I thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
Thank you so much for helping this donkey . My goodness it’s so heartbreaking when people neglect animals . Truly heartbreaking 💔❤️🩹 Thank you for what you do.
So good to see the donkey walking so much better. Thanks so much for helping him.
I can't stand to see an animal in pain or mistreated. Tough to watch. Thank you for the good work you do and for helping this guy. Well done my friend!
@Ken Rowell yes very difficult to see an animal in pain or being mistreated,very tough to watch.
Are you vegan ?
@@jjradV No I'm not.
@ken Rowell you sound like a very kind compassionate person,are you aware of the pain and suffering animals go through in factory farms and slaughter houses ?
Anyone eating meat is contributing to the pain and suffering by purchasing the corpses of animals to eat,we don't need to eat meat,plants provide everything we need to survive and be healthy.
Do you know how much suffering is in a glass of milk or piece of cheese.
Research dairy farming ,watch new born calves being taken from their mothers,not allowed to drink their mothers milk because greedy humans want to sell it to other greedy humans, cows are very maternal and cry for days for their babies. Cows are forcibly bred every year in order to produce milk,the male babies don't produce milk so they are usually shot
or sold as veal.The cow is not your mom it's not your milk.
Research the chicken factory farms see how your eggs are produced, male chicks don't lay eggs so They are ground up alive ,drowned or gassed to death ,google cattle factory farms, see how pigs are being kept, most people are completely unaware of the cruelty and suffering these animals go through every minute of every day because the consumer demands it.
Thank you, he’s still doing good!
Ken Rowell, I completely agree with your comment,what do you think about factory farms ?
Speechless, I can't believe how bad that foot was at the start. You did such a good job getting it closer the right shape. The donkey must feel so relieved, he looked like he was in so much pain when he was limping along.
Thank you so much for helping this poor animal. I teared up seeing the neglect of this poor animal. How human beings can do this I will never understand. Thank you.
So nice to see someone that knows what they're doing & helps the donkey instead of hurting it more. Both the donkey & I thank you !
It was wonderful to see the hoof coming more into the shape and position it needs to be
This must have been such a massive relief for the little fella..
it’ll probably take a while till he’s completely painless, but this step must have been huge in terms of comfort.
So glad you could help him.. donkeys are such sweet animals
Bless you for helping this Donkey !! Their feet are so different from horses !
His whole demeanor changed. He is definitely a happy boy now. Awesome job giving him his spring back!
So happy to see you take an x-ray before trimming, some videos here on YT don't even mention it so I imagine some don't bother. In one video from Gran Canaria, the poor horse had so horrific hoofs after years of neglect that it was irreparable and had to be put to sleep after its x-rays. I think it had lived inside a barn for many years, alone and with no daylight, no love, and very little food.
Heartbreaking!
00000
No more limp!
It breaks my heart to see an animal suffering. They can’t ask for help-or I should say they can’t communicate their pain in our language. I’m glad there are people like you who understand theirs.
Excellent job.
That was a very well behaved animal for not having that done before.
Thank you for helping him out 😀
How great that you have such compassion for animals. Wish there were more people like you. Thank you!
Ah it's his job

I worked with founder for many years. Never seen one turn in like that. It takes a LOT of guts to take that Sawzall to a foot the first time, but man what did we do without them ? Really nice job !!
Thank you, yes it’s scary to think what could happen if you did it wrong. Also he’s still doing good!
God bless you for saving this beautiful animals' life!!!
God Bless you for having this skill! And for taking care of this poor fellas foot. Thank you from me from him. :-).
Oh that poor donkey. They are such sweet animals, they're great guards and have their own personality. God bless you for helping him.
Thank you for helping these suffering animals and giving them back a much better life!
What a beautiful being you are for doing what you do... Thank YOU x 10
The patience of the donkey was incredible as was the result, amazing job
I never heard of someone using an x-ray to guide a hoof trimming. But it's good you are so careful with that saw. This reminds me a little of something I saw on a television show. A gal asked her co-worker how he could accomplish what he did on his computer. He said that he has this little trick called knowing what's he's doing.
wow thats so smart, like, can you believe it? just knowing what he is doing, its giving me a whole new perspective on life... you just have to know what you are doing, who would have thought
When the knowing what you're doing trick isn't working, there's also the trick called knowing how to use a search engine.
@@tin2001
Yeah, that's pretty much my secret weapon. I had a little business fixing computers. The customers thought I was genius. But most of the credit actually goes to google. I was looking up stuff constantly when I got into trouble. A lot of customers knew that's what I was doing, but they didn't care because the problem got fixed. And that's what counts at the end of the day. There are a lot of subjects that are so broad that no one person could ever know everything about it. So, being able to look up information when you need it is an important skill.
It’s
Amazing how good the donkeys are when the hooves are being worked on.
Thank god you could help him after all his suffering ❤
Seeing that frog uncovered was a golden moment! Great work. Time and care ...knowledgeable care like yours.
Imagine the relief this baby is feeling 🥲🥲🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Apart from having a good cry, watching you restore this little donkey's quality of life, I salute you sir for being such a good farrier. Of course it's healing will start from here. It is hoped that this poor animal will continue to have a quality of life from here on. ❤🦘🐨🇦🇺
I burst out in tears when I saw him in so much pain. 😥 Thank you SO SO much for what you've done. You will be blessed! 💐💐
Thank you, he’s still doing good!
Watching the poor thing bring in so much pain got me right in the feels..
Seeing the relief is amazing
Meus parabéns pelo trabalho que você fez no burrinho agora ele vai poder andar melhor 🥰👏😘
You guys have done a compassionate great job 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you for taking care of this poor guy. I know I’m not alone in saying this makes me so angry. There’s just no excuse. I just cringed at the first part of this. I hope he co tiniest to improve and he gets the much needed proper care and all the love he needs and deserves. ❤️
God Bless you for helping this precious animal. You truly are a gift.
THANK YOU ! God is smiling down at you for caring for one of His creatures.
Thank you, I believe he is
❤ thanks for helping the helpless ❤❤
God bless this Donkey, may he have a wonderful rest of his life, thank you guys, for helping these precious animals.
Thank you brother. You will be rewarded for the care you showed this poor critter! I do wish if people are apprehensive or fearful about trimming their animal's hooves that they would consult you earlier. He deserves the care you'd give a thoroughbred. Again, thank you.
Oh man! You guys are awesome to help out that poor beautiful donkey like you did. We need more wonderful people like you in this world. Thank you and keep doing what you do. Bless all of you!
Thank you for helping this suffering donkey.... thank goodness there are people like you out there with skills and compassion to help. We need more people like you in the World ❤
My Dad used to be a horseshoer. To my knowledge he never had a case quite this bad. The use of power tools was interesting to see. Dad always used the traditional tools. You did excellent work, nice to see this donkey get some love and care.
It's certainly the first time I've seen a farrier on CZcams use power tools.
@@brigidtheirish Possibly because of the shape of the helmet and perhaps it was too hard to cut it with traditional tools.
@@belentae6341 I think you mean hoof, not helmet? But likely enough.
@@KeterMalkuth Probably because cattle usually come in herds of a couple dozen to several hundred while someone may one one or two horses. There's a greater need for dealing with each cow or bull as quickly as possible so all of them can get done.
@@KeterMalkuth Never is a long time, but severe overgrowth is probably less common in horses. Even the best farmers and ranchers can't inspect each hoof of each head of cattle everyday. They'd never get anything else done.
This man knows his stuff. I haven't seen this channel before and it's so nice when I see someone do this correctly. X-rays are mandatory with feet this bad. I have seen people just lop it off and call it good. 😭
Farriers--part engineer, part artist, all heart.
Thank you very much for the kind thought!
Thank you for helping this sweet guy💕
What a wonderful person you are. I don’t know anything about horses or donkeys but I worked for years as an SPCA animal rescue officer. I’ve seen and rescued many animals from many horrible situations they were in. It always made me smile and tear up when I was able to save an animal . What you did for this donkey is nothing less than incredible. Thank you for being a better human than most.
Sean Callahan you sound like a very compassionate person that can't stand cruelty to animals,are you vegan ?
Well said. Rescuing is a heartbreaking vocation I rescued dogs. Even today I think back and cry. Thankyou. ❤
If I had my life to live over again, I would choose to do this work.. It is truly an art form what farriers do. It also improves the lives of some wonderful creatures.
This is lovely to see. Animals dont even complain much. They just look sad. Thank You for relieving this donkey's feet. :)
Thank you for fixing him up! He is such a beautiful creature!
That donkey was amazingly calm with the Sawzall and grinder! I assume he was sedated! Great job!
Yes he was great to work on, zero sedation
@@olsenequinecjf And no twitch, ear twisting or whipping.
As if the poor guy knew you were helping him. Good job!🤝
