Every now and then, a soul comes into our lives that reminds us why we do what we do. This gentle giant, a rare Brabant mare, was saved from a heartbreaking fate in the kill pen and today, she’s living the peaceful retirement she always deserved.

Brabants are a majestic and powerful draft breed, known for their kind eyes and steady hearts. They’re rare to find, especially in rescue situations, which made it all the more important for us to step in when she needed us most.

She’s found her place among new friends, enjoying slow days filled with sunshine, soft grooming brushes, and the simple joy of just being a horse. Whether she’s grazing with her pasture mates, you can see the peace in her eyes.

Retirement isn’t just rest , it’s healing, safety, and freedom. And this beautiful girl is a living testament to that.

We’re so grateful to have her as part of our herd, and we know her story is just beginning. Thank you to everyone who supports rescue — you make second chances like this possible. 🐴❤️

But our work isn’t over. Five Belgian draft horses still remain in danger, and time is running out. With your help, we can save them too. Every share, every donation, every voice makes a difference and together, we can turn their story from tragedy into hope.

URGENT: 5 Belgian Draft Horses Need Your Help

Five Belgian Draft horses are just days away from being shipped to slaughter unless we step in.
These horses each have a story, and they ALL deserve a second chance:
A registered stallion, who still has so much life left to live. A 3-year-old gelding, barely starting his life, now facing a cruel and premature end. A mare with a lump on her front left leg, likely cast aside because of it but she still has love and spirit to give.
And Two older mares, who spent their lives working hard for humans, only to be thrown away when they could no longer work.

They are scared. They are waiting. And they need YOU.
With your support, we can save them from slaughter, provide the medical care they need, and give them the peaceful, dignified life of retirement they deserve.
Don't let them become another tragic statistic. Be their voice. Be their rescue.

All the details to the fundraiser are at www.bighooffoundation.org

Every dollar matters. Every share spreads the word. Every moment counts. Help is save their lives!
