Sponsor a Gentle Giant
Sponsoring one of our permanent residents—beloved members of our Big Hoof Foundation family—provides critical support to ensure they continue receiving the love, care, and attention they so deeply deserve. These majestic Draft Horses, once neglected or abused, now rely on our community to help them heal and thrive.
 
Your sponsorship directly contributes to essentials such as veterinary care, feed, and medications when needed. While the actual monthly cost of care exceeds $100, your generous support goes a long way in helping us meet their needs.
 
Becoming a sponsor means becoming part of their story—a story of rescue, recovery, and a second chance at life. Together, we can give these gentle giants the retirement they deserve.

Story:
Aline is part of the “Original 6” rescued in January of 2022 from Bowie Texas Livestock. 
 
Aline is the alpha mare and she is in charge of this farm! She keeps everyone in line the way she wants. She is one of our biggest mares at 17.3 hands tall. When Aline arrived at the farm in 2022, she was very underweight but was in good health overall. We got her on a proper diet and up to an appropriate, healthy weight for a horse her size. It took Aline a little while to fully trust us, but now she loves belly scratches and being brushed. Aline is absolutely stunning now and is living her best “bossy” life of retirement!
