WE ARE BACK! Update from the farm on all the rescued Belgian Draft horses and why we have been away.

No apologies needed Fletcher Farms are truly angels working with these kind souls!

[@vickilynn1204]

So happy to have you back. Missed You. Sorry for your loss. RIP Charlie and Amelia.😢

Thank you

Another name for concussion is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and they are no joke! I got one 15 years ago, when my car was T-boned by a bus. It’s very important to listen to your body! If you are tired, it’s important to rest/sleep! I know it’s hard to just stop when there is work to do, but it’s paramount to your recovery to listen to what your brain and body are telling you. Praying for your full recovery!

[@carolynnr.6409]

And, get this, you have to rest your brain after such an injury. It must be difficult!

[@Misskitty15]

Agree! That also happened to a friend of mine. She was hit by a truck while walking across the street! It's a miracle she's alive & yeah, it took at least a year for her to recover.

[@janethompson2305]

OMGOSH😢 everyone w/a TBI, I'm so sorry. I had a small concussion when I was a teen, they called it a "meer' concussion. I experienced some dizziness, lightheadedness, nauseous, sleepy, fatigued & I was scared. That was one heck of a wack to Ur head to be knocked out, very scarey. Thank God for cell phones & that U weren't all alone at the time Julie. I know U will keep Ur distance from now on when Ur close by Ur animals, including being near the goats too 🐐🐐 Love Ur farm & all Ur animals & I still think of Lucky from time to time. He sure was a special horse & he sure loved U Julie. I'm real happy about that. I'm keeping Ur farm, all Ur animals & all of U folks in my daily prayers & thank U so much for showing us the beautiful videos ❤ God Bless 🙌 U All Forevermore 🙏🤲 🕊✝️😇❤🐎🐴💙

[@tiggragg2749]

You felt you need to say that. Why? I believe she has been told every thing by her doctors!!! This is about Julie not you

[@janethompson2305]

@@tiggragg2749 Understand that U seriously need to get some courtesy for Urself. Shame on U.!

Was in tears watching your accident and hearing about your health the past few months. Rest up and don’t push yourself too hard ~ your body needs a lot of time to recover. So happy to have you back and have the update on these precious horses. I’m so sorry about your two losses ~ Charlie and Amelia were so blessed to spend their time on the farm with you. You are a blessing to all the animals you have rescued. Blessings and prayers.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Thank you!

[@loisloumis5088]

I’m so happy to see you are back. So sorry about your accident and I hope you will be better soon. Take it as easy as you can. I hope you will get some volunteers in to help out. Also sorry about the two losses. So sad. 😢 I hope Eva will fit in soon and that you’re able to have her eyes taken care of. I would like to mail a small donation is there an address that I can use. God bless you for what you are doing. Xoxo. Lois

Charlie and Amelia were like family I am sure. And their loss I am quite sure was very emotional. How could it not have been? You are doing God‘s work. The horses are in there forever homes. Take care of you.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Thank you!

[@penelopesheehan5927]

It’s a joy and a relief to have you back! To have weathered grief on top of a head injury is an enormous accomplishment. As the adopter of an 11 pound dog with traumatic behavior issues, I just can’t say how much I admire you for taking on a gigantic behaviorally affected Belgian like Ava. You all are truly heroes

[@vegaslady3732]

While I too am heartbroken over the passing of Charlie & Amelia, I am at a loss to think of a nicer way to leave this earth than to lie down in a place where you feel loved & peaceful and drift off. You & Corey provide such a place to all of your animals. Thank you for that! I'm glad you're pursuing patreon funding or anything where we can do an automatic monthly deposit to help the farm. And I'm grateful you are doing better, but brain injuries can't be rushed - so please be kind to yourself : not sure how many emergency calls Corey can tolerate! So welcome back FFA be you 2 or 4 legged. I, and many others missed you and are relieved to see you all again.

There was an obvious hole in my life when I didn't see youand your uploads for so long. Many prayers coming your way. Thank you for posting all the stuff. Now it's onward nd upward. God bless.

[@ritaschultz6859]

You gave Charlie and Amelia their 2:52 best life. I'm sorry for your loss ! Oh my Gosh feeding is the best part of caring for them but it's also the most dangerous encounter to have with them .I always put me and the fence between me and the horses. While I'm feeding them. Really think about how to make feeding safe for you and the horses. I'm glad you're on the mend. Take care ❤

[@KarmaLyser]

I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie and Amelia. The down side of rescuing the Seniors is you don't get as much time with them, but the time you had was quite possibly the best of their lives. Those Donks love the heck-all out of you! I suspect Ava was drugged out of her mind at the auction, and has had some very bad experiences with people. Poor girl.

[@Sillydk-ot6dk]

Good to see you back. Such a freak accident can take time to heal from. Your love for your horses is clear to see. They are very lucky to have found you and your farm, where they can enjoy their retirement and just be horses. Beautiful. 🥰

Beautiful, beautiful horses that have their best life and retirement❤

[@suzanne9622]

Omg! I am so sorry to hear of your accident. You need to try to take it as easy as possible. You may need to get a check with your doc. It is so easy to get hurt with horses even when you are so careful. I hope time heals and makes you feel better. I am so sorry for your loss of Charlie and Amelia. I have always worried about the large amounts of alfa pro you feed in a single serving. Consumption of large quantities of high starch grain can have drastic consequences to a horse's intestinal health, causing digestive upset, abdominal pain (colic), and diarrhea. Could you buy some round bales. They are a lot less expensive than squares and would be so good for them. Then you could just feed a vitamin or ration balancer to be sure they get all their vitamins. I think they would love munching on a round bale especially when the grass is low or gone. This change may possibly save you some colics.

[@DeborahFord-yz9nz]

Sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need we all can wait. A concussion is something you need to be careful of. Take care and we will wait.

[@Rickilyn]

Why don't the Amish care for their older horses? Thank God for you and your rescues.

[@hansgustaf540]

They exploit and starve them and throw them away for younger horses that will be abused in the same way. I was shocked to learn here how many of these "religious" people treat their animals so cruelly.

Please take care of yourself around the horses and donkeys for that matter. They might be old but are massive, you on the other hand are tiny. They would never mean to hurt you but, as you found out, accidents happen in the blink of an eye. You still need to take it easy though. 💔 to hear about Charlie and Amelia, both darlings. I hope the new girl relaxes soon and realise she home with good people. Blessings 🐎🙏

[@jolynnhill8502]

I am very sorry about Charlie and Amelia but they were so grateful you rescued them and had a wonderful retirement. I also had a concussion and I would have dizzy spells for a year that immobilized me. Scared me every time I had one. It does get better so hang in there. I was knocked out by longhorn that turned her head when I was feeding her carrots and I dropped one, bent down to pick it up and she turned her head and I flew backwards. Still love our animals!!

So glad to have you back and delighted you have recovered well Julie. Always remember to take extra care around horses, they generally are not malicious, but the freedom you give them now, must be exhilarating for them, and accidents will happen. I think what you and Corey are doing is amazing, and have joy in watching the wonderful life in retirement, these great characters are receiving from the two of you. Life is now giving them freedom to run, be properly care for and fed well. You both, and your helpers, are doing a magnificent job. Katy xx
