Help save " Big Hoof " Horses

The Big Hoof Foundation is dedicated to saving Draft Horses that have spent their entire lives working only to be neglected or abused when they can no longer work and are eventually sold to slaughter or abandoned to perish.

Our dedicated volunteers and board members work to rescue, rehabilitate and give these beautiful gentle giants a nurturing pasture to retire peacefully, while advocating for more humane treatment of the draft breeds through information and enlightenment.

By saving abandoned Draft Horses we are providing them a loving, humane environment free from pain and suffering as well as restoring their trust in humanity.

Our orginization will do everything we can for the horses we rescue. Most of the horses we have rescued have medical conditions and can not be re-homed. They will receive the best medical care and alternative treatments we can offer them with help from our amazing veterinarians.

Our Mission

To rescue and rehabilitate Draft horses.
To provide a facility where no animal will endure the pain and suffering caused by a life of abuse, neglect or abandonment by giving the horses the proper medical care required to live a healthy life.
To sponsor or host events that promote awareness of the neglect and abuse of the Draft Horse Breed.
To create an equine therapy program to assist people suffering with mental illness.
To bring awareness to the community about horses being released into a slow feral death or dropped at a dealer who sends them to auction then slaughter.
To form relationships, share information and work towards a collaborative effort to solve problems that lead to the inhumane treatment of these big hoofed gentle giants.
