page, thanks
Deno (proper name De Novo) was adopted by FHG posters in 2005 when one of them, Shebalator, rescued him from slaughter.
Then - 700lbs underweight with a broken jaw and multiple other ills.
2008 - still struggling with sarcoids but finally fit enough to have a light rider up for the first time so he could
join his mates on a jaunt round the local lanes
2009 - due to sheb’s declining health, a new home was sought for Deno.
A very brave ebayer named upthecreekyetagain ( very apt name I think you will agree) agreed to take him on.
So, now Deno lives in Surrey with the Creeky family, plus 3 lovely mares. He has 5 acres of grass and orchards to roam in and is very happy.
His sarcoids still remain a problem, but a new vet is investigating them further to decide on the best course of palliative care.
Visits can be arranged, please contact Creeky for more info.
Deno is reliant on fundraising and donations for his food, medicines and all the things that make his world that bit nicer.
His in-depth story can be found on his website http://www.denorescuedhorse.co.uk/
and there is more info (including how you can join in and help him) on Elphaba’s Me Page.
This replaces his previous diary thread that had become too cumbersome to load.
And to mark the start of the next chapter of his life.
New Deno supporters always welcome!

Morning 🙂
I've just been out in RL, to Argoose, and I didn't like it one bit.
Mary, it will be frustrating for you. I spent several weeks recently with a trapped nerve in my shoulder than made typing and using the mouse painful so I had to avoid coming here. Be worth it though if it gets you fighting fit after.
Hope all is tranquil in Creekyland and Deno hasn't actually managed to limbo out :-D

Diary Entry – Week 5
One Week Ends Another Begins
As those of you who have read the previous diary entries will be aware last week was pretty traumatic on the Deno front. To summarise it started with the vet’s visit to give Deno a health check which resulted in the decision not to take the risk of introducing Ellie and Ruby at the moment. This has meant quite a rethink on how we manage the land regarding grazing.
The following day we had the experience of Deno suffering from “choke” which meant an emergency call out to the vet and an all night vigil to make sure he didn’t suffer any ill-effects from the injection he had been given to relax the muscles in the throat and the antibiotics administered to reduce the risk of pneumonia.
A lot of time this week has been spent creating small paddock areas in the field next to the orchard which together with the strip of land fronting the orchard will make up the majority of their winter grazing this year. Cuddles and Deno have enjoyed their part in making this a viable option as we have let them into each of the mini-paddocks as they were fenced. They have quite happily enjoyed the arduous labour of eating all the long grass so that we can more easily remove any patches of dock or nettles.
Much of the rest of the week was spent in relative normalcy – morning feeds of karrit sandwiches, afternoon checks, sarcoids dressing and mucking out, (oh the ecstasy of horse management), and the best visit of the day – the evening treat of karrit sandwiches, fun with the dogs and relaxing in the evening sun
Of course if you’ve left the morning feed a little late because you overslept on a Saturday morning and can’t give the evening dose of antibiotics until 12 hours later then there isn’t a lot of evening sun left!
Playing ball with the dogs is none to easy either!
Mind you we did see our first glow worm of the year and just had to share this with you all - :^O
The week ended with lots of effort going into preparing the Girl Guides float for the Redhill Carnival and the new week started on Sunday with the actual parade – I know this is Deno’s diary but hope you don’t mind me posting the following pictures in which I, dressed as the Mad Hatter, am driving the tractor pulling the float through Redhill town centre.
I’m sorry this has only been a quick summary of what really has been a hectic week, Deno’s knack of causing the maximum amount of worry with the least effort possible timed to coincide with one of my busiest weekends of the year has left little time for a daily update!
Don’t forget to check out all the Big Boy’s pictures

"Did you keep the receipt?"
He was given the nickname of Captain Chaos for a very good reason :^O
Great pics and update thanks :-)

And he does it so well ;-):-x's
Carnival pics are great, Creeky.
Updates and photos are always very much appreciated but, as said before, we do understand when you're not able to post or can only tell shorter stories.
Thank you for the glow worm pic.
I love glow worms, but I've only ever seen them once in 'the wild'.
We were on holiday, walking the dog on Tennyson Downs IOW, mid-late 80s. Dusk was falling and we spotted a green light glowing. Wondered what the hsck it was, and then suddenly there was another and another until the whole area was glowing. Was like fairy lights, truly magical. 😄
*note to self: arrange to visit Creeky Castle during glow worm season*
