Honey, a Thoroughbred, was trained to be a racehorse. However, she never made it to the track; she now has severe arthritis in one knee that heavily impedes her mobility.

When she was younger she was used as a school horse, and she was excellent for beginning riders. We continued to use her even as her arthritis developed and worsened, as the exercise and movement, though painful, was good for the joint. Finally Honey's arthritis became so bad that she was retired, but we still care for her and treat her as we do the rest of the herd.
