Donkey Hooves

Does anybody know what it would cost to trim 5 donkeys hooves ? I was told it would take less than an hour for all. Thanks

It would take a bit more than 12 minutes per animal (3 mins per hoof!) if you are to include loading into a crate!

Does the farrier bring anything like a pairing crush like they have for cattle horse stocks etc or do you just tie them up with a head collor
The reason I ask is we have a yearling that wasn't done before and don't know how quite she would stay if you lifted her back leg
Might get kicked into next week.

Depends if they are used to being handled and how long since they were last done. To do a good job it would be 20 mins per donkey
