The farrier came today to give the donkeys a pedicure. Donkey's hooves and teeth never stop growing so they need occasional attention. Our guys looked like they were due for a clipping. The farrier was remarkable to watch. Our donkeys are rescued, quite feral, and at least one was likely abused. They are not entirely trusting of humans, yet! Matthew was amazing. A donkey whisperer. He did not give up. He persevered, and even when Ursula kicked up a storm, he did not relent. She eventually gave in. He said he just has to be more stubborn than the donkeys. I loved it.
Matthew is such a lovely gentle man. He clearly loves the animals and has a good rapport. He was able to do much more than we could, and we learned much just from observing him. He worked up a sweat taking off most of his layers when we were freezing. He clearly loves his work. God bless him.
Matthew noticed the vineyard. He has vines in his polytunnel. Small world.
