She's perky, hungry, & all the trimming & cleaning out Courtney did on her feet didn't seem to make her feet sore, which is a miracle. Courtney really took off a lot of hoof & all of her frogs, they were full of thrush. I soaked her yesterday morning in White Lightening. Courtney is going to try to come out in a week or so & see how she is doing. I will try to get pictures of her feet as soon as I can, they sure look a lot better.
Courtney & I are trying to figure out a set of boots for Jenny. Lucy has done so good in hers. We tried Jenny in boots awhile back, but she has a permanent sore right above her coronet that gets rubbed & becomes a mess. But the boots made her walking so much more comfortable. The problem with her feet is the extreme upright shape of her hoof, typical for a donkey, & hard to fit with a boot designed for a horse foot. Hopefully we can figure out something.
