Poppy is in her early teens Thoroughbred mare and she arrived at Castleton Ranch after sustaining a fracture to her cannon bone. Poppy required the best part of a year in her own corral to limit her movement to a walk, but in that time she has healed very well. Although she can never be a riding horse due to the strain it would put on her weakened leg, she is able to share a larger paddock with her companion Amber.
