Three donkeys hooves achieved without any trouble but it was impossible to cope with Filou, the big donkey.

| Rosie, naughty though she is, she is always so calm, lifting her sabot when asked. I stand at her head and recite calming poems. She loves a spot of poetry does Rosie. |
Patrick thinks Filou must have had some bad treatment in in his past history to be so afraid. The only way is to give him a sedative, so another visit has been arranged.
Julia had asked me on an earlier occasion to help clean hooves and I had helped once but after nearly being ''squished' to the sides of the shed, I felt a bit foolish saying I was too scared to do it again.
It made me feel better when big burly Patrick, said ''no, it is too dangerous to continue''
