The search for Honeys perfect partner is still on going. I have tried her with 2 horses so far, but no
match. She really needs another big draft, preferably a dominant male, to share her paddock. For
now she will be moving to a smaller interior paddock, so that she has horses on all sides of her.
She doesn't enjoy living in her big paddock all alone. As big as she is, she can be very insecure
with out a protective partner.

Well, Honey is still living the single life. Haven't found her that perfect match yet. She is still in the
smaller interior paddock, but all in all, shes pretty happy about it. She would rather be there,
surrounded by other horses than have the big paddock that only has horses on one side. I have
been spending lots of time hanging out with her, she loves to be groomed while she stands free in
her paddock. I try to take her out everyday to walk a bit and get some grass, Honey does love her
grass.
Honey also loves her healings, shes all about getting worked on. Shes decided that healings are
nice, massages are nice, and even the Chiro, on occasion is nice (at least the after effect of the
chiro is nice)
I recently moved the llamas out of their paddock for the day, so Honey a few others could enjoy all
the grass that the Llamas have no interest in. Its thick beautiful grass and apparently it smells like
llama. I guess by horse standards thats not a very appetizing smell. Honey wasn't terribly
impressed with their paddock and just wanted out. Below is a video of her in the llama paddock.

Honey is doing great. She finally has a roommate that can handle her and that she adores. His name is
Cloud, he'll have is own page soon. I have been working Honey pretty consistently all year (at least my
version of consistent :) She will finally trot nicely on request. Boy that took some time, mind you she
would trot if I insisted, but I it wasn't a relaxing trot. Honey can get rather upset when shes
uncomfortable or worried about doing something. We have been working on all the little things that
have disturbed her in the past, like going into little stalls (just for practice), using the cross ties, water,
being ridden into areas that are scary like parking lots and basically anywhere that other horses are
not. Its been going slow, but I know in the end it will be worth it. She trusts me more than I had thought
she would be able.
Here are some new pic's of Honey and her boyfriend Cloud. This was there first time in the paddock
together, it went really well.
