Description: Buttercup is estimated to be a mare between the ages of 12-15 that was surrendered to us with a body score of 2 and in bad need of a hoof trim.  She leads well but has anxiety when coming in or out of her stall due to her feed aggression issues. When you have been a very long time without a normal feeding schedule we can understand and are taking the time to help her adjust. Her rehab will be to put more weight on her and get her used to being handled, then we will start light ground work before we can consider her up for adoption.

“I am a newbie to the barn. My friend Summer and I came to Sunshine when our owner could no longer take care of us. After a few pedicures, I’m looking much better! The food here is pretty good, and sometimes I can’t contain my excitement when it goes in my bucket. I get kind of pushy but am working on my patience… I’m a sweet girl and have made good progress working with my new humans. Everyone here is so nice to me!”
