Happy Birthday to Caity, the heart and hustle behind Honey Bee Horsemanship!
She might not ask for much on her big day — but if you really want to make her smile, consider sponsoring !

Merple is Caity’s 2025 partner for the Appalachian Trainer Face Off — a heart-driven competition where trainers team up with rescue horses for 100 days of training, trust-building, and transformation. They’ll be competing in the Whippersnapper Division, created for horses too young to be started under saddle, focusing on groundwork, manners, and preparing them for a bright future.

The ultimate goal? Finding Merple a loving, adoptive home at the end of this journey.

Big day for — she officially joined the full herd today!
There was some sniffing, a little squealing, and one dramatic hair flip (we won’t name names).

Introducing new horses can be stressful for everyone involved, which is why we take it slow and set them up for success. Merple started out with Honey (a HOP alumni) and Priscilla (our resident welcoming committee and professional groomer of new arrivals). From there, she got to know the rest of the herd over the fence until we were all comfortable turning them out together.

She’s figuring out the social scene one ear flick at a time, and we’re so proud of how brave she’s being!
The potbelly pigs celebrated with some surprise zoomies, which definitely added some spice to the introductions.

Turns out the real initiation test was: can you share the hay pile without a side-eye?

Farrier Day was yesterday, and the horses are feeling themselves!
Everyone got their nails done — some even asked for sparkles (we had to draw the line somewhere). Huge thanks to our amazing farrier for keeping all these hooves healthy and happy.

had their first farrier visit at Honey Bee Horsemanship and while there is room for improvement, we are proud of her!

We failed to get many pictures — turns out holding horses, chatting with the farrier, and taking photos all at once requires more hands than we have!

Merple Monday – Segment Two 🥰

Merple’s been putting in the work this week, and it’s paying off! She’s been practicing her lunging, loading and unloading from the trailer like a pro, and we’ve been fine-tuning her feed time manners—standing calmly away from the bucket until I’ve dumped the grain and stepped back. It’s all about building respect and trust, one moment at a time.

She’s also prepping for a big milestone: her farrier visit today! We’ve been laying the groundwork to help her feel confident and cooperative when the time comes.

Each week, she’s showing more maturity and softness—can’t wait to see how she shines as we keep building on these small wins.

A theme for today’s session 😂 got her first bath today, and while she didn’t love it, she didn’t hate it either. Cayde played with the pigs in their mud pit while I worked with Merple.
I think they both shared feelings about the bath part 🤪🛁🐷

April 19th vs today, I can’t wait to see what she looks like in 100 days 😍😍
