Belgian Draft horse and 2 day old foal saved from almost being shipped to slaughter update - Ep.59

Описание: On April 15th, I came across a post on Facebook from Sexton Horse and Mule in Sneedsville, TN where we rescued Freya from. There was a mare that just dropped a foal not 24 hours before I saw the post and they are both scheduled to be shipped to slaughter on the next truck. We secured a home for these two precious lives and along with your support we saved them from being shipped to slaughter!

When we started this channel, Mark a retired Army veteran, reached out to me wanting to adopt one of our horses. Our horses that we have are special needs, most with medical conditions and are not available for adoption. I promised Mark I would help him find a pasture pal for his horse Calvin. Mark purchased 26 acres in southern Illinois and wants to help our cause by saving more of these horses from going to slaughter. Mark agreed to adopt both Mom and baby and provide the perfect life for these two with his horse, Calvin who will finally have a pasture pal.

Mark and Calvin were excited to welcome the mare and foul to their farm. This is an update on how they are doing after being saved. Our foundation arranged for the mare and foal to be picked up the next day on April 16th from the kill pen and they were transported 430 miles to Mark's farm. The following week we had a vet (Dr. Beasley) go to Mark's farm to give them both a complete check up. Sky and Daisy are doing well and we could not have saved these two without your support! We can't thank you enough!

If you are new to our channel we started the Big Hoof Foundation, a 501c3 non profit organization to save more of this lives from going to slaughter. I could not let a mom and not even 24 hour old baby be shipped to slaughter. They deserve a chance at life and for a happy home.

Please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Big Hoof Foundation to help us save more of these precious lives. We have a temporary page set up on the Fletcher Farms Amarillo website until we can complete the foundations website.
