    If you are new to our channel, I came across a post on Facebook from Bowie Texas Livestock of a giant Belgian gelding (18.1 hands tall) that had just come in from a farm in Kentucky. There was a chance that this horse came from the same farm our original 6 Belgian Draft horses came from. When I told Cory about this giant boy...much to my surprise he said we should rescue him. I ran it through the board members and we decided to save him!
    Liam (Lot# 9714) will be the second rescued Belgian Draft horse under the Big Hoof Foundation. The original video of Liam from the livestock yard showed that he was having some issues with his front legs. When we picked him up on Monday April 3rd, he could barely walk!
    On the way home from the livestock yard, we stopped at Claude Veterinary Hospital to have him evaluated. X-Rays showed that he had sever arthritis in his front leg and Dr. Amber was worried he was foundering. One of our other horses Cami, has sever arthritis as well. We take her to our other veterinarian (Mobile Veterinary Practice) for steroid injections and they have helped her tremendously. We made an appointment for Liam to see Dr. Waggoner at MVP to see what treatment she thought would be the best for him. This is an update video on Liam, his vet appointment at MVP and his first 3 weeks of retirement on the farm.

      What die you do to him? He has much more pain in his frontlegs, than at the beginning. He has to much and to good food, if he has that thickness in his hoofs. Maybee you gave him also some medication that makes it worse and he needs to cool his hoofs with water.

    I’m a cat person. It is reported that the “musical” frequency of a cat’s purrs will stimulate healing. Kinda like the theory of good symphony music leading to good mental calmness. I do find a cat’s purrs to be very soothing and peaceful. Best to Liam and all.

      Yeah, makes total sense. There's a new thing called humanely euthanizing....maybe you've heard of it?
      And if they can't afford vet bills then they have no business owning a horse in the first place.

      Grumpy Nanny, most all draft horses are gentle. Our 8 year old Shire mare is like a giant puppy. We've had her since she was 4 months old. She's 2200 pounds and 17 hands tall. It's weird that our 8 years old Morgan mare eats more than our 8 years old Shire mare. We've had both since they were 4 months old.

This big boy just sprauled out & made himself comfortable while you cleaned out his feet! 😂 Also, Liam dunking his hay in water before eating it reminds me of a little kid dunking a cookie in his chocolate milk before eating it! 😂 Liam is a beautiful boy.

    Wow! Liam is one big boy! He is so beautiful and truly a gentle giant. I so enjoyed watching this latest video about him. Liam is truly blessed to have you looking after him and relieving him of the pain of his arthritis. I find it amazing that he will lay down and allow you to cleanout his hooves, and stay so calm and gentle. It just makes me so happy to see his happiness and progress. Thank you so much!

    Glad you have him safe and cared for. He knows you are trying.
    He might need padded boots and Im sure you know with overgrown frogs they can get a fungal issue on either side of the V deep. Your farrier can open those areas up so you can treat..
    I love his trusting gentle nature. Wonder if his weight might be adding to the strain a bit. Just adore a horse willing to be cared for.
    Jack was well recieved too. Miss Fraya just needs to reconize how handsome he is❤
    Really appreciate the video.

      We have looked into boots but I need to call the boot makers because his hoof is so big they don’t have his size on the website. But I was thinking if I reached out to them they might make a custom pair. We did get medication for the frogs. It did look like a fungal issue. We have lots of plans to help this boy. Having the farrier out is next on the list.

I hope the cat purrs to Liam, as there are Therapeutic benefits from cat purrs. Liam is so very gentle. He’s adoreable. I love your feeding set up too for Liam. Glad that the mom and baby that went to Marks farm are both doing well. Love💗🌠

    18.1 hands!!! He's filled out pretty good on the coastal. Glad you elevated his bowl. It was clear in the first video that between his height and the pain in his front feet that dropping that massive head and neck of his was a problem. He's looking great.

    Great peace you are doing all the medical options for him to be as comfortable as possible. He seems to be such a good guy and he knows you're helping him and have the TLC for him. How wonderful that must be...
    Heartfelt thank you everyday you're doing such great work for him and others. For sure you're doing exactly what you are meant to be doing.

    Julie and Cory, it's so heart warming that you guys are giving all these wonderful animals a new life of love and care instead of constant hard work neglect and pain. They cannot speak to tell us of their suffering but their bodies and faces tell us how happy they finally are now that they are being valued for who they are. Liam is a beautiful horse with such a noble and gentle face. He seems to just soak up all the love you give him. I admire the courage you have to rescue these often badly abused animals. As we saw with Lucky, it's devastating when they can't be saved. It takes courage to knowingly go ahead and take these risks . So glad you do. I am following you from Holland and always look forward to your videos. My heart is with you all. ❤❤❤
