Waylon Nelson tales of the Pink Donkey

Waylon is a large Standard Donkey.  He is a beautiful Pink Donkey not a common color bit still an approved Donkey Color.  It's not important where he has been, and there's no way to know.  He didn't have a name and 2 of his feet were in bad shape.  It didn't take him long to warm up to us.  His feet have been trimmed and the damage from white line disease cut away.  Waylon is on the road to recovery.  He is young maybe 1 or 2 and deserved a chance to be healthy and loved. Waylon is friends with every Equine he meets.  He is playful and shy.  We are honored to know him.  The picture above shows what a Donkey's hoof  SHOULD NOT look like! He lost most of the outer wall and it could take up to a year for him to grow a new hoof.  When he's feeling better he will be gelded. Until then lots of love, rest, good nutrition, and hanging out with his Donkey buddies. Get well wishes Waylon Nelson the Pink Donkey.
