Sugar is a broodmare. The word brood means young. A broodmare has had at least one foal in her lifetime. Any mare used for producing foals is referred to as a broodmare. You may have heard people refer to their children as their brood. Sugar’s owners gave her a stuffed pony that they had found at a thrift store – the pony looked just like her!
When Sugar and the stuffed pony stood together, they took pictures. It was as if Sugar had her own mini-me! Sugar thought of her new pony as more than just a stuffed toy – she treated it as if it were her real baby! In the video below, you will see how Sugar reacted when her owners tried to take the pony away!
