Height:
14.2
Color: Line back
dun
Markings:

Location:
Interlachen, FL
Adoption Fee:
$350
Temperament:
We like Honey Bear a
lot, she is a
sweetheart. She greets
us at the gate for pets
and love.
Interaction with horses:
Honey Bear seems to get
along really well with
our other mare and our
gelding. Our mare has
taken her under her wing
and plays protector for
her, but she is the
bottom of the herd. She
doesn’t seem to care for
the minis or the donkeys
that are in the big turn
out pasture, but isn't
really
aggressive/kicking at
them unless they try to
run her into the herd.
Gets along well with
small dogs and cats, and
our goat.
Interaction with people:
She doesn’t talk to us
yet but she is very
interested in everything
that we are doing. She
lets our son love her
through the fence. She
seems more comfortable
with me than my husband
though, I think this is
just something that
needs a little work.
Loves to be brushed.
She is still kind of
timid with us though.
History:
We don’t really know
much other than I was
told that she came from
a trail operation with
kids.
Training / abilities:
We are told that she is
trail safe and for
general western
riding. We haven't
ridden her yet, or even
tried to place a saddle
yet. We are trying to
let her get comfortable
with everything since
she's only been here a
short time.
Physical problems /
health issues:
She has a scar on
back hoof that goes up
into the hair line, the
vet states that it is
not a current problem.
She does seem to have a
little drag in that
leg. It doesn’t stop
her from running and
moving in the pasture.
Honey B is still really
ribby but she's eating
really well and gaining
weight.
