Big Hoof Foundation

Our rescued horses...

One of our pillars of the foundation is to educate others about the abuse and neglect these horses and so many others endure. Many of the horses we have rescued have worked on farms their whole life. Once they either became too old to work, or were injured and could no longer work, they faced neglect, abuse and were eventually shipped to kill pens for slaughter…. And this is where we come in to rescue them from a terrible, gruesome end.

We love to share the progress of the horses as they recover from the neglect and thrive in their retirement home with love and kindness. Therefore, we feel it is imperative to be transparent in sharing the stories of the horses we rescue. 

​

We are dedicated to saving as many lives as we can without overcrowding our farm! Below are the animals we have rescued and a little information about each of them! Click the pictures for their full stories.
