Nugget came to us from a local working ranch. She had developed an issue with one of her rear legs that prevented her from being ridden for any extended time and thus no longer a real working horse.

Now Nugget enjoys her days lounging around, eating carrots (favorite) and being taken on walks by her new human mom Susan.

Upkeep: Nugget weighs approximately 1200 pounds and she can eat a good bit of alfalfa every day. Approximately $10 worth, per day. That means monthly it takes approximately $300 just to feed her the basics. That doesn’t include the carrots, treats, and special chews to relief her leg pain.

If you would like to send Nugget a treat, the best way is to either click the Donate button or to send us a Tractor Supply Gift Card.   The email to send the gift card to is gifts@bigskysanctuary.us.    If you do, you will get a personalized picture of Nugget enjoying your treat.
