With a name like Butterballs, you just know this horse isn’t going to be your average ranch animal. While most horses take their time walking up when it’s feeding time, Butterballs treats it like a race. The moment she hears the food truck approaching, she goes full speed ahead like she’s chasing a championship. If there had been a bucket of grain waiting at the finish line, she might have given the legendary Secretariat a run for his money.
A Stunt Horse in Disguise
As the truck nears, Butterballs doesn’t just stop—she slides into place like she’s doing a movie stunt. Imagine a luxury sports car whipping into a perfect parking spot, and you’ve got the idea. She races full throttle, then glides to a stop with incredible style. No wonder she’s Rachel’s top pick for riding; she’s got sass, speed, and quick reflexes that would make any cowboy proud. With all that personality, she might just be the ranch’s MVP.
Life on the Ranch with Rachel Shelton
Rachel Shelton lives the kind of life many dream of. She runs a ranch where she raises horses, goats, and cattle—and possibly shares her space with a few loyal dogs. When she’s not wrangling animals or enjoying the mountain views of Idaho, Rachel works on her creative projects. She’s the owner of Oreamnos Oddities, an online store that sells handmade Norse pagan goods. Since 2017, she’s been turning naturally sourced bones from her land into unique pieces of art and decor.
She Mistreated 66 Dogs—And Can Still Own Pets Legally!
All 66 dogs had some kind of physical injuries; three of them were so beyond help that they had to be euthanized. Sign the petition now to tell the Senate that we must do better to protect our beloved animals
Butterballs May Be Unique, But the Ranch Is Full of Charm
While Butterballs is clearly the speedster of the bunch, not all of Rachel’s horses are as obsessed with food. The others are more laid-back and make perfect “meat bikes”—a term Rachel uses playfully. The backdrop to all this ranch life is breathtaking, with peaceful landscapes that look like they came straight out of a postcard. Rachel shares glimpses of her world on social media, and you can catch her updates on both TikTok and Instagram. Her business also has separate accounts, so there’s plenty to explore whether you love animals, nature, or handcrafted oddities.
