Do LongEars Need Shoes?

Updated: Feb 22, 2023

There is no easy yes or no answer. Below is what we know.




Do donkeys need shoes?

Most donkeys do not need shoes. Mammoth donkeys who are ridden extensively may require shoes if their hooves wear faster than they grow out. All donkeys should have their feet trimmed on a regular basis by a farrier knowledgeable on donkey hooves as there are many who do not trim donkeys appropriately.

For a donkeys social and behavioral needs to be properly met, donkeys need other donkeys as a companions. This is especially true for young donkeys who are still developing behaviorally. For this reason, we will not adopt out single donkeys unless they are going home to be with another donkey. Mules make great companions for horses and other mules but are not suitable companions for donkeys. Horses, goats sheep, and chickens are also not suitable companions for donkeys. Please keep this in mind when adopting a donkey.
