Adoptable Horse: Chicken Nugget, a 20-year-old, 15.0hh American Quarter Horse mare Organization: Houston Humane Society, Houston, Texas
Chicken Nugget is a spirited 20-year-old sorrel mare with a coat that gleams like burnished copper in the sunlight. Despite her unusual name, she carries herself with the dignity of a horse who has seen two decades of life and accumulated wisdom along the way.
At 20, Chicken Nugget has moved past her fiery youth but retains her alert intelligence and gentle curiosity. She does have a pre-existing stifle injury that keeps her from being ridden. With a kind and calm temperament, she would be the perfect companion.
