Honey came to us by owner surrender due to loss of companions and age of owners. She came very healthy with the exception of some rain rot on her back end that we've been treating with antifungal ointment. She is an easy going mare who likes to take her time walking in and out of the barn.  She loves being groomed and loves treats - apples and carrots are her favorite. She was not used to being stalled at night but has adjusted well to this change.  Per her former owners, she is not rideable.

Riley is a Thoroughbred gelding who was retired to Cracker Box Palace several years ago. Trained English as a Hunter/Jumper, he was also a lesson horse for a short time. Blindness developed in his left eye and while some horses adapt to this fine, it caused Riley too much anxiety to continue with most riding activities.
