Sundae has to wear a muzzle outside of the barn to keep her from eating the grass, which has too much sugar and aggrivates her laminitis, a condition that inflames the tissue in her hooves which are already damaged from neglect. The pony was rescued from a field where it was being kept in Post Falls this past winter. Malnourished and weak, she was described her as "within days of death". As a result of the reported neglect, Sundae's hooves have grown thick and spread out which has caused her ankles to buckle, making it difficult for her to walk.
