Our Projects.
The Big Hoof Foundation has grown in such as small amount of time! Since the Big Hoof Foundation does not own the property where the horses are housed, Cory and Julie Fletcher are working to expand the barn and pen areas on the property to accommodate more rescued horses. More information to come soon!
Barn Expansion additional runs
​
Our barn currently has five runs with indoor and outdoor access. We are opening the other side of the barn to add three more runs with indoor access for the horses. This will also give us more space for feeding the horses with special needs.
Barn Expansion additional shelter
​
We are in the process of expanding the back of the barn to make a 40x75 free span/open shelter area for the horses and donkeys. The barn addition will also include a 12x75 lean to on the west side. Gutters will also be installed on the new expansion along with the existing barn to help control water in the paddock area. This area should be completed by the end of December 2024.
Adding another Ritchie Automatic Waterer
​
With the herd expanding rapidly, we are installing a new Ritchie OmniMaster 8 waterer. The OmniMaster 8 has a fully insulated casing and a unique wrap around stainless steel trough. Thermostatically controlled heat coverage and fast refill valve will provide fresh, clean water even in the harshest winters. Newly designed, built-in high capacity drain maintains clean drinking environment.
Fencing additional land​ (Upcoming)
The front portion of the property is not fenced along with an adjacent paddock. Our goal is to have this area fenced in so the horses have additional space to graze.
