Last month, with the support of our subscribers and followers, we rescued 6 Belgian Draft Horses and a donkey from shipping to slaughter! We were told from the livestock yard that the donkey was pregnant but we wanted to find out for sure if she was or not so we had an additional blood test done on Blue. The test results are in! Find out if our new rescued donkey is pregnant or not! And there is an update on how she is fitting into the herd.

It has also been a stressful few weeks around here because we integrated Hank and Andy into the herd. Hank and Andy were the last 2 of the 6 Belgian Draft Horses that were rescued. Their integration was a lot smoother than the last integration with Elias. If you missed that video check out the link below! And...we had 3 emergency vet appointments last week. I don't know if it was from the cold snap we had or what the situation was but I spent my week at Mobile Veterinary Practice. All the details on what happened are in this video.

We hope you enjoy this video! Make sure you like, comments and subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening around here! Because it's never a dull moment!

I mentioned Finn in this video. If you don't know what happened with Finn, please watch this video for all the details on Finn.

As a growing horse rescue group, we rely on monetary donations to keep the organization moving forward. The Big Hoof Foundation will always be transparent with how your donations are used. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the rescued horses' feed, hay, medical bills, medications, alternative medical treatments, supplements, surgeries, etc. Every dollar raised is for the horses!

Our ability to help these horses is only because of the generous donations from our subscribers and followers! Please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Big Hoof Foundation to help us save more of these precious lives from shipping to slaughter and provide them with the care they deserve.

The information about Giving Tuesday and the grant we were nominated for can also be found on our website at the below link. Please vote for us weekly!

The one item WE always need is FEED! If you would like to send a gift/donation of feed (Alfa Pro) you can send that through our local feed store, HF & C Amarillo. HF&C Amarillo has offered to help us with anyone wanting to send a gift/donation of Alfa-Pro to the horses. When you call, tell them you are sending a gift to Fletcher Farms Amarillo/Big Hoof Foundation and they will add the gifts to our account.

Alfa-Pro is a complete pelleted alfalfa mixed with vitamins and minerals all the horses need on a daily basis. Alfa-Pro is $17.45 per bag. They do offer a discount if you purchase by the pallet (40 - 50 pound bags) $16.95 per bag if purchased by the pallet. WE go through 6 bags per day to feed all 18 horses (300 pounds per day)!

Thank you to everyone that has sent us gifts of Alfa Pro! The horses love Alfa Pro and we truly appreciate the bags/pallets you have sent to us!
