Book Review: The Professional Handbook of the Donkey
This book is a must-have for all donkey owners.
The Professional Handbook of the Donkey was compiled by Dr. Elisabeth D. Svendsen of The Donkey Sanctuary. It contains detailed information on many topics of interest to donkey owners, including:
- General donkey care
- Detailed description of the donkey foot and its care
- Donkey nutrition and housing needs
- Pasture management for the donkey herd
- Typical donkey social behavior
- An overview of common medical problems in donkeys and their treatments.
- Donkey specific information about several common surgical procedures
- Breeding, foaling, and care of the baby donkey
- Riding, driving and showing donkeys
I have found it to be very informative and educational reading, and highly recommend it as an addition to your longears book library!
I believe it may currently be in the process of being revised, but you may still be able to get copies of the last version, or may choose to wait a few months until the new revised version is available for purchase.
