Another RESCUE in progress and an update on the horses saved from shipping to slaughter in April '25

Описание: Episode 119
We are in the process of rescuing 5 more Belgian Draft horses from shipping to slaughter! On April 19, 2025 we started a fundraiser to save two Belgian Draft horses from Bowie Texas Livestock. One was a mare and the other a gelding. We wanted to save these two together because they were a bonded pair. While we were working on saving these two a Belgian Draft horse gelding came up at Wish Upon A Horse. We decided to add him to our fundraiser as well! Our fundraiser was a success! These three lives have been saved!

On April 24, 2025, a bonded pair of Belgian Draft horse mares came into Bowie Texas Livestock. These two mares are in terrible condition, both have eye issues and were dumped with their pulling gear! When an anonomous donor found out we were working to rescue these two mares, the person stepped in and paid their full bail! 5 lives have been saved this week!

April 2025, has been extremely busy with rescues, vet appointments, fundraisers and caring for horses. This video is also an update about some other horses we have rescued in the month of April alone, like Caitlin, Carter, Olive, Jet, Raven, Rio and Sadie Mae! Find out their stories in this episode!

Birch the Clydesdale along with Romeo and Juliet the grey Percheron team joined the herd too! It was amazing to see them running in the pasture, free without a care in the world!

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

We also have a fundraiser going for all the medical bills for the 97 equines we have rescued since the beginning of September 2024. All the details of the fundraiser along with copies of the medical bills are on the Big Hoof Foundations website.

We have also created a fundraiser for feed! With soon to be 98 horses and 20 donkeys on the farm, we need all the help we can get with feeding the herd and giving them the retirement life they deserve!

Another way to support us is with feed...the one item WE always need is FEED! If you would like to send a gift/donation of feed (Alfa Pro or beardless wheat) you can send that through our local feed store, HF & C Amarillo. 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.

We are feeding the herd round bales of beardless wheat and the horses go through about 6 bales every few days. A round bale of beardless wheat is $140. We also use small square bales of beardless wheat and can be purchased through HF&C Amarillo for $14.95 each. Our special needs horses also eat Alfa-Pro which is a complete pelleted alfalfa mixed with vitamins and minerals. 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.
