Episode 84
Back a few months ago we worked with another rescue group to save a Belgian Draft horse who we named Aurora. This sweet horse went through so much. She was dumped at a kill pen and was almost sent to slaughter. After we picked her up and got her to the farm we found out that she was extremely underweight. We found out she had cellulitis in her back leg along with Squamous cell carcinoma tumors in both of her eyes. After having surgery to remove the tumors and two weeks of chemotherapy we had Aurora on the road to recovery and enjoying retirement life! She was receiving acupuncture every two weeks to help her lymphatic system move some of the fluid through her leg to reduce the swelling. She made friends with one of our other rescued horses Amelia. They were best friends and went everywhere together.
Last week we had an emergency colic situation with Aurora. This video is everything that happened with Aurora. Rescuing senior horses is always challenging because you don't know their history and what they have been through. Our mission is to give them the best retirement life we can give them for as long as they have. Live everyday to the fullest as tomorrow is never promised.
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!
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' bail fees, transport, 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. Thank you everyone for your continued support in saving these gentle giants! We could not be saving these lives without you!

If you would like to support us, 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 pallets per month to feed all 22 horses (440 pounds per day)!
