    That donkey's hooves are in a terrible condition.. and you can tell that the worst front bits were hacked off. The animal badly needs a farrier to trim them. It's cruelty to have him working in that condition. Unfortunately too many donkeys in Ireland are neglected that way causing them totally unnecessary suffering.

    Thank you for this, sir. My father was born in 1907 and raised in Newtowngore and I'm very sure he did much of what you show us in this video.

    John. I love what you did here. Maith an fear! A lot of it is new to me although I went from commercial growing in the 1970s to reviving ridge making here in West Cork on RUclips. See Grow Smart Ireland. Would like to hear from you.

      It's the true state of the way he keeps the donkey.. they should be cut so the animal can walk properly without pain and not just for a video.. it's cruelty to leave the hooves in that condition... and then to ask the animal to work with them like that.. appalling..
