Rescue Is One Day.
Sanctuary Is Every Day.
Bringing a horse home is only the beginning.
Tomorrow they still need breakfast.
Next month they still need hay.
Next year they may need dental care, medications, veterinary treatment and another farrier visit.
When we rescue a horse, we aren't making a promise for a week, a month or a year.
We're making a promise for the rest of that horse's life.
Help Us Be Here Tomorrow.
One-time gifts help us meet today's needs.
Monthly gifts help us plan for tomorrow.
â
Reliable monthly support helps us prepare for hay, feed, veterinary care, medications, farrier visits and the unexpected expenses that come with caring for a large sanctuary herd.
â
Every monthly gift makes a difference. When our community comes together, that steady support becomes hay in the pasture, feed in the barn, medications, veterinary care and everything our horses need to live safely and comfortably.
Together, small acts of generosity become a lifetime of care.

Sponsor Care
Every horse at the Big Hoof Foundation has a unique story—and unique needs. Some require special diets, ongoing medications, additional therapy, or additional veterinary attention due to age, injury, or past neglect. All horses at the foundation realso require routine care such as getting their hooves trimmed (farrier day), teeth floated, and vaccinations. When you choose to Sponsor Specific Care, you’re directly funding the personalized support that helps our horses horse heal, thrive, and live comfortably.
âââ
Your care means everything to a horse in recovery. Thank you for making a difference—one need at a time.

Donate Items To The Horses
If you would rather send the horses items they NEED (or needed for their care) or want to spoil them, check out our Wish lists below. We can also always use Tractor supply gift cards for things like pine shavings for the stalls, buckets, etc.
The one item WE always need is FEED!
With 117 horses and 31 donkeys currently on the property,
donations of feed are always appreciated!ââ
âââ
We have changed the way we are feeding the herd since we have grown so much this year.
A horse's natural diet consists of pasture grass and tender plants. The herd is now mostely eating beardless wheat and alfalfa. We feel that taking the horses to a natural diet is what is best for their gut health.
â
We use small square bales of beardless wheat for the horses that are inside barn with special needs or horses that have just arrived to the farm. Square bales can also be purchased for $14.95 each.â
The special needs horses also eat Alfa-Pro which is a complete pelleted alfalfa mixed with vitamins and minerals.â
Alfa-Pro is $17.45 per bag. HF&C offers a discount if you purchase by the pallet (40 - 50 pound bags) $16.95 per bag if purchased by the pallet. They also eat a sweet feed (Hi-Pro Senior feed) to help keep weight on the horses with bad teeth. Senior sweet feed is $24.87
With Velda bringing us a beautiful colt on June 12, 2025, she requires mare and foal feed. This feed can also be purchased from HF & C Amarillo for $26.13 per bag.
HF&C Amarillo has offered to help with anyone wanting to send a donation of Beardless wheat, Alfa Pro, Senior feed, and mare and foal feed to the horses. When you call, tell them you are sending a gift to Big Hoof Foundation and they will add the gifts to our account.â
