BUTTERFLY
Butterfly came to us in 2013 with her friend, Django (now passed on), brought to us by a loving family who had to give up their home for financial reasons.
Her family rescued her as a baby from a Santa Ynez valley herd who was supposed to be cared for by a man whom the state awarded custody and funding, only to have him pilfer the funds and starve the horses.
Butterfly is a Spanish Mustang, with dramatic chestnut and white “paint” coloring.
You can often find Butterfly grazing with another Mustang Rio, as she is one of his mares.
