Chicken nugget

Don’t let the name fool you—Chicken Nugget is all heart. She got her name from a sweet 3-year-old in her previous home, and it’s stuck ever since.

At 21 years old, she’s officially in her golden girl era and is looking for a soft place to land. Due to a stifle injury, she’s not rideable, but she’s the perfect companion horse. Calm, patient, and full of love, she’s happiest just being with people—especially kids.

Chicken Nugget is currently learning how to be a therapy horse for at-risk youth, using her gentle, steady presence to help build confidence and trust. One of our team members even credits her with helping them overcome their own fear of horses—that’s just the kind of gentle soul she is.

If you're looking for a loving, steady companion to brighten your barn and your heart, Chicken Nugget might be your girl.
