Episode 63
If you are new to our channel, back in April we started the Big Hoof Foundation to help rescue more "Big Hoof" animals from shipping to slaughter. We weren't planning on making the announcement about the foundation until summer but we made the announcement sooner because of Lucky who we rescued in March. If you don't know who Lucky is check out his playlist of videos.

Everyone kept telling us we needed to rescue a gelding so Charlie would have another gelding to hang around with.The secret we have been keeping is back in February before we rescued Lucky, we rescued another horse! We haven't announced his arrival because he is nothing like the other horses we have here on the farm. As our vet would say...he's spicy and not nice all the time. This video is about the challenges we faced with the new gelding, his training, integration with the herd and accepting love for the first time from Cory and I.

With the announcement of this new horse, we have rescued 17 horses over the last year and a half! 13 of those horses are here at Fletcher Farms Amarillo, two were adopted out and two sadly passed away. I wish we could save them all but we will continue to save the horses we can until there are changes made in this broken system.

We hope you enjoy this video! Make sure you subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening around here! Because it's never a dull moment!

Please consider making a tax deductible donation to the Big Hoof Foundation to help us save more of these precious lives. We have a temporary page set up on the Fletcher Farms Amarillo website until we can complete the foundations website.

The one item WE always need is FEED! If you would like to send a gift/donation of feed (Alfa Pro, hay, etc) to the horses you can send that through our local feed store, HF & C Amarillo.

HF&C Amarillo has offered to help us with anyone wanting to send a gift/donation of AlfaPro to the horses. When you call, tell them you are sending a gift to Fletcher Farms Amarillo and they will add the gifts to our account. AlfaPro is $17.45 per bag. They do offer a discount if you purchase per pallet (40 50 pound bags) $16.95 per bag by the pallet. WE go through about 31/2 bags per day to feed all 13 horses (175 pounds per day). We also purchase square bales of coastal hay from HF&C. We use 3 bales per day to feed all the horses. Square bales of hay are $16.75 each.

Thank you to everyone that has sent us gifts of Alfa Pro! The horses love Alfa Pro and we truly appreciate the bags/pallets you have sent to us!
