Corrective Trimming
Before we trimmed the donkey
No not all donkeys have upright hoof angles. The best trim for a donkey hoof is to match the pastern angle, as they would on any horse. For an animal that has under-run heels or is coon-footed (as in this donkey), there may be some corrective trimming in need, but the general rule is to match angles. Trying to "Stand a donkey on it's toes" may do more harm than good. The basic trim is the same, just the general shape and to a small extent the angles are different - but not that much.
