Nanette…quite simply amazing!
Posted by on Apr 27, 2010 in Association News, Donkeys, Hoofcare, Rescues | 4 commentsWe thought Nanette deserved a post all of her own as the transformation in her from the neglected little donkey we rescued in June 2008, is nothing short of inspirational! Those of you who remember Nanette will also remember the dreadful state her feet were in, they had been neglected for many years.
After x-rays were taken of her feet to assess whether she has any pedal bone rotation, the arduous task began of trying to get her feet back into a decent state again. We thought that it was important to show you just what can be acheived with these rescued equines with time and care.
These were her feet on arriving with ERF….
And now…..
We would like to thank Nanettes wonderful adoptive mum Caroline who has given this very special donkey so much time, patience and love since she has been with her….and also credit must go to her wonderful farrier!
Just wonderful news. Amazing that they seem now totally normal. If only she had not been allowed to get in that state but 10/10 for all of you for putting right.
BIG BIG WELL DONE, The farrier must be something else as we have yet to find a farrier who understands how to do corrective work.
Love the donkey on the sun terrace photo – sooo relaxed.
Almost unbelievable. Thank you so much for doing this wonderful magic for Nanette. And when you see your farrier give them a HUGE BIG HUG from all of us horse huggers.
This is wonderful for Nanette and credit to the people who saw what terrible condition her hooves were in and yet gave her the real opportunity to be healthy and sound.
There are many donkeys like this all over the world – some in our local communities who need our help. I love working with donkeys and on their feet when their hooves have been so neglected – it is truly rewarding to see them rebound and come back to health.
