Something to make you smile…Welcome to SunnyD’s Bed and Breakfast
Dexter Update
Here’s an update from Dexter’s foster home: Ultimately, I’ve fallen in love with this little guy. If he was a hand taller or I was a hand shorter, I’d keep him. He’s smart, athletic, tough, and funny, everything I like in a horse. But I do think he deserves a rider…
JR Intake photos
New SAFE horse JR arrived at the farm today. He needs to put on weight, and he’s very muddy from his previous home with a terribly matted tail and bad cracks in his hooves. He’s a remarkably polite horse with great manners. He is going to make someone an awesome…
Oscar and Scooter update, updated!
Oscar and Scooter were taken straight to Evergreen Holistic Vet Care on Saturday to await their gelding surgeries. Both stallions have proven to be extremely difficult to handle and their surgeries were bumped up to this week to get them done as soon as possible.…
Shiloh Update
Shiloh has finished 60 days professional training. She’s still very green, but considering she came to us as a barely handled 5 year old, she’s doing very well! She has a sweet nature and a generally calm temperament.
The call we’ve been waiting for…

Cameo: Making Progress, Getting Stronger
Cameo continues to make good progress in her rehab from last July’s injury. Volunteers have been walking and trotting her in hand for the past several months. Cameo is a pretty good girl for her exercise sessions but she is easily spooked if there is too much noise or…
Getting to know Jessel
Well color me impressed! Jessel had her first health check up with Dr. McCracken and she was a superstar. She was a little shocked by the first vaccine but it only got better with the others. We will be giving her more boosters in a few weeks but at least she won’t…
Getting to know Tess
We are happy to have three sweet new mares in our care: Tess, Bean, and Jessel. They were rescued from a very tough situation of neglect and starvation, and it’s going to take some time and TLC before they are ready for adoption. At the moment, we are letting them…
Training Update: Mesquite
Sometimes you meet a horse and say, wow, now that’s my kind of horse! Mesquite has had my heart from the beginning. Once I rode him, I was done for! He is an amazing horse! He is kind, gentle, intelligent and fun. Plus, he has three smooth gates. Oh, and did I…
