    Oh my gosh, imagine being 15 years treated like a machine, and then, maybe also being on your last leg (hence why you’re at a disposal venue), and then being scared for worse as you’re loaded into the next step, and then getting to Julie and Cory’s. You’re lying down, in the mud, expecting nothing and you have a herd standing near, and a caring, capable Human rush to your side, then a Vet, then you’re standing without someone yelling in your ear, and you’re drinking without being left, and you’re eating fricken the most beautiful hay, and you finally feel what that would feel like. What a treasure you and Cody are Julie, thank you for providing them, Anna, those passed on, with a calm, compassionate retirement. It is beyond (my) words on how important you are to the Horses, your viewers like me, and the Earth. Thank you so, so much.

      These horses come to you, frightened and tired from overwork. With you they start a new kind life, with plenty of food, care, and all injuries seen to. How wonderful. Keep up the wonderful care you and Corey are giving to these wonderful big horses, who thought their end had come. Xxxx

    These horses must think they have died and gone to heaven! What a wonderful situation they have been so blessed to wind up in! Love the narratives that you do to help viewers know what is going on with them. As a child I was crazy about horses and even had part ownership with one named Old Bill. He was a sweet, mellow old boy. It is so wonderful that these horses have such a peaceful, stressless life for their retirement. Thank you for providing them such love!

    Poor Anna. She was so emaciated when you rescued her. She’s improved so much. God bless her! God bless the Big Hoof Foundation! Pray she’ll regain the strength and confidence to get back up if she falls. It takes a horse 11 months to give birth. The birthing process is exhausting for them. Human moms you know what we had to go through. Then there is the nursing, the intense protection of the mares for their foals so they have a chance to survive. To be born with such beauty and perfection then to be abused, neglected, torn down, worn down physically and emotionally and ultimately discarded is plain evil! The suffering is utterly unwarranted. And the foals who wind up in the kill pens with their moms or being born in kill pens? NO justification makes this right. The heart aches deeply. Mind-blowingly painful. 😫😭🤬 How can human beings be this abjectly cruel?! Beyond deplorable, beyond contemptible.

I can not imagine how much this must weigh on you with all of your responsibilities, but it is evident that all of your herd have been made better for their freedom ride to their sanctuary and loving home. That you are able to give these beautiful babies a dignified and safe retirement is a blessing beyond measure. Thank you for everything you and Big Hoof do for these gorgeous horses.

    Watching the loading for the "freedom ride" I always wonder what the horses will think. Once again on the road, not sure where this ride ends... And then they realize they now belong to kind humans taking good care of them. No more hard work but good days with their friends, meds for aching joints, tasty feed. They really deserve it. I wonder: how is the gentle giant who was only six when he was dumped and saved by you?

Will be lined out soon. About the best thing for knots in manes & tails is Avon Skin So Soft & it might also loosen that horrible lot # glue. Side benefit is flies & mosquitos hate it! lol Beats cutting them out. I used the SSS on my horses when I was still showing & competing. Just pour a small amount in your hand & work it in...GOD bless you & the team for all you do!!!
