Apparently, nobody told the donkeys that hoof trimming is part of the deal when you live at an all-inclusive retirement resort.

The horses? Most of them understand the assignment and don’t cooperate as well.

The donkeys? They’d like to speak to management. IMMEDIATELY.

Our farrier deserves hazard pay, a vacation, and possibly a therapist.

Who else has a donkey that acts like a hoof trim is a personal attack?

Welcome to life at Big Hoof Foundation, where the donkeys are small, but the attitudes are HUGE!

Some days on the farm are exciting. New rescues arrive, horses make new friends, and we get to share those happy moments with all of you.

Other days? It’s just a whole lot of hard work.

Feeding hundreds of hungry mouths, cleaning up after them, checking on the ones who need extra care, fixing whatever broke overnight, and somehow finding time to give everyone a little attention.

And trust me, there’s ALWAYS something broken around here!

But somewhere between the mud, the hay, the endless chores, and the horses who seem determined to make our jobs harder, we’re reminded why we do this.

Because for so many of these horses, this is the first place they’ve ever been able to just be horses.

No expectations. No work. No wondering what happens next.

Just friends, forage, freedom for life.

It’s not always pretty, it’s definitely not easy, and some days are downright exhausting. But we wouldn’t trade these big, beautiful souls for anything.

If you’re new here, welcome to Fletcher Farms Amarillo, home of Big Hoof Foundation! We’re a lifelong sanctuary for rescued horses and donkeys in the Texas Panhandle.

Stick around, follow our page, and share our story. There’s never a dull moment around here, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Now, who’s been following our crazy farm adventures for a while, and who’s just finding us? We’d love to know where you’re watching from!

**RESCUING THEM IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. KEEPING THEM FED IS EVERY SINGLE DAY. ❤️**

We desperately need your help.

Our **November Feed the Herd Fundraiser** is now posted, and we are asking our supporters to please help us keep the hay coming for the horses and donkeys who call Big Hoof Foundation home.

People often see the excitement of a horse being rescued from the slaughter pipeline. They see the happy ending when that horse steps off the trailer and arrives safely at our farm.

**But what many don't see is what happens after that.**

The feeding doesn't stop. The medical bills don't stop. The farrier visits don't stop. And the responsibility of caring for these animals doesn't go away once the excitement of their rescue fades.

And now, the rising cost of feed is making things even more difficult.

**Here's the reality of what it takes just to keep hay in front of our herd:**

- **$160 for ONE round bale of hay**
- **20 round bales every 3 days**
- **$3,200 in hay every 3 days**

That's not including the senior feed, specialized diets, supplements, and medications needed by many of our older and special-needs horses.

With over 200 horses and donkeys in our care, these expenses are staggering. And as we head into winter, keeping everyone fed is one of our biggest concerns.

**We cannot do this without your help.**

We know we ask a lot of our supporters, and we wish we didn't have to. But the reality of running a sanctuary this size is that the expenses never stop.

These horses depend on us **365 days a year.** Rain, snow, freezing temperatures, or sunshine, they still need to eat.

If you've ever celebrated one of our rescues, followed their journey, or smiled watching them enjoy their retirement, please consider helping us continue giving them the life they deserve.

**Our November feed fundraiser is LIVE, and we desperately need your support.**

Whether you can donate $5, $20, $50, or sponsor an entire bale of hay, every dollar makes a difference.

And if you can't donate, PLEASE SHARE this post. Reaching new people is just as important right now.

These horses have already been through enough. They deserve full bellies, a safe place to call home, and a future where they never have to worry about being discarded again.

**Rescue is a moment. Sanctuary is a lifetime. And feeding them is a promise we have to keep every single day.**

Thank you for standing beside us and helping us keep that promise.

BIG BOOTIES, BIG PERSONALITIES, AND EVEN BIGGER HEARTS!

If you’ve followed us for a while, you know we have no shortage of BIG B***Y BELGIANS around this farm!

These massive draft horses have some of the biggest backsides you’ll ever see, and we absolutely love them! There’s just something about watching those big Belgian booties walking across the pasture that makes us smile.

So naturally… WE PUT THEM ON A T-SHIRT! 😂

Introducing our newest BIG B***Y BELGIANS design, inspired by the actual Belgian horses who call Big Hoof Foundation home!

And yes, the artwork was created from a real photo of some of our very own big-bootied residents!

The best part? All profits from shirt sales go directly toward supporting our ongoing operations, helping us provide food, medical care, and lifelong sanctuary for the horses and donkeys who depend on us.

Some mornings, you just need to hug a Clydesdale.

Meet Clyde, our 4-year-old Clydesdale rescued last month from Bowie Texas Livestock. He loves helping with chores and wants to be right by your side. However, he doesn’t realize how big he is!

Forget the coffee. Forget the chaos. Sometimes the best way to start your day is to wrap your arms around a 2,000-pound gentle giant and forget about the world for a minute.

Life gets busy, things get stressful, and some days are harder than others. But out here at Big Hoof Foundation, these big horses have a way of reminding us to slow down and enjoy the little moments.

Who else thinks a Clydesdale hug could fix just about any bad morning?

Follow Big Hoof Foundation for more life with our rescued gentle giants! 🐴

NEW SHIRTS ARE HERE! And some of these designs are SO us!

We’ve added some new designs to our Big Hoof Foundation and Fletcher Farms Amarillo apparel collections, and there’s a little something for everyone!

We’re bringing back our original logos, introducing a 1940s throwback design that celebrates our farm’s roots, and adding some farm humor and holiday spirit to the collection!

🐴 BIG B***Y BELGIANS – Because if you’ve ever seen our Belgians from behind, you know exactly why this shirt exists! Even better, the design was created from an actual photo of our horses!

🐴 CARRY ON – If you’ve watched our videos, you’ve probably heard me say this a time or two (or a hundred). Around here, the horses have a mind of their own, and sometimes all you can do is say “Carry On!”

🎄 CHRISTMAS DESIGN – We’re getting into the holiday spirit with a festive new design that’s perfect for Christmas shopping or treating yourself!

And don’t forget our original logos and new 1940s throwback designs!

We’ve got tees, hoodies, long sleeves, and more! You can now shop Big Hoof Foundation AND Fletcher Farms Amarillo apparel in one place to save on shipping.

These are preorders! We don’t keep apparel inventory on hand. Once we reach 25 orders of a design, it heads to the printer. Orders will be sent to you in time for the holidays.

Best of all, every purchase helps support the rescued horses and donkeys who call our sanctuary home.
