/diy/ - Do It Yourself

A friend of mine is getting 9 donkeys given to him amd wants to get rid of some. I've been thinking about taking a couple because i have land for it, but don't want a huge expense in it. Currently have chickens and 3 dogs with a fenced in 6 acres.
>I'm wondering if hiring a farrier every 8 weeks is a necessity or if trimming the donkeys hooves is a skill easily learned that I could do myself. Youtube videos make it look kind of easy but everywhere online recommends hiring a ferrier and I'm wondering if it's one of those scam trades like A/C repairmen where they refuse to recommend doing things yourself or share information to unlicensed people
