Mule Hooves

These were some pretty overgrown mule hooves when I started.  They are in good shape now.  Since getting out of school, I've worked a whole lot on donkeys and mules.  I find them as enjoyable to work with as horses and ponies.

Risks of the Trade

I couldn't resist sharing this.  I can't tell you how I've grown very AWARE of when a horse needs to poop when I'm working on the back hooves.  I've nearly had a load dropped on my head a few times and now recognize the signs of needing to quickly drop the foot and stand back!
