The other day, we had a pony and a donkey's hooves trimmed.

As the name suggests, "hoof trimming" means trimming and trimming the hoof. It's the same as cutting and caring for human nails.

If the hooves grow too long, they may crack, become difficult to walk on, and become sick. Sometimes it can be a life-threatening disease...
A horse's hoof is also called its "second heart."

So, I asked a hoof trimmer to trim the hooves of my pony and donkey.

After cutting the hoof with a tool like a large nail clipper, file it into shape. It really looks like someone's nail care (lol).
The hoof trimmer taught me how to care for it easily, so from now on I will be careful to care for it so it doesn't grow too long.

Also, the donkeys moved to the Naughty Square at the beginning of this month. They are doing well in the back of the pony paddock. A donkey shed was also built.

They are neighbors with ponies, so please compare the differences between ponies and donkeys.
A pony and a donkey from the same horse family.
Can you see the difference? ?

I'll check the answers another time.
