Mission Statement

At the Big Hoof Foundation, we are devoted to rescuing and protecting Draft Horses who have given their strength and loyalty through years of service—only to be cast aside, neglected, or sent to slaughter when they could no longer work. These gentle giants, after a lifetime of steadfast service, deserve compassion, dignity, and peace—not abandonment or suffering. With the support of our dedicated volunteers, board members, and veterinarians, we provide these majestic horses with a second chance. We rescue, rehabilitate, and offer them a peaceful, permanent sanctuary where they can enjoy retirement with compassion and rest. Most of the horses in our care are seniors with medical conditions and physical ailments that make rehoming no longer a viable option. Our commitment to them is lifelong. We ensure they receive the highest quality care—both medical and alternative therapies—so they can live free from pain, fear, and hardship. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, we aim to inspire lasting change in how Draft Horses are valued and treated. We believe every horse deserves a lifetime of love, care, and protection. To us, every horse is worthy of being seen, loved, and safeguarded—not just for a moment, but for a lifetime.
