There is no such thing as an ugly horse, only ugly attitudes!

First Best Friend Ranch works in conjunction with the University of Colorado equine medical research and education facilities to offer the best care possible to horses undergoing rehabilitation.

Sunshine was born with her front legs turned outward. Without surgery, she would have been permanently crippled. Sunshine was rehabilitated by First Best Friend Ranch.

Now, three and a half years later, she is a healthy four-year-old with both legs straight and no sign of lameness. Proceeds of First Best Friend Ranch assist in the rehabilitation of abused, neglected and abandoned horses like Sunshine.
