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 🙂
Hi and welcome back Peril! 😄
Meant to say yesterday, I know Creeky and Borzoi want a copy and I'll do one for Sheb obviously, but if anyone else wants the last thread on disc let me know.
Creeky, not had much chance to go digging for the previous thread discs but I won't forget - just we may all be a lot older by the time I get to it :8}
Hope all is peaceful everywhere

What Deno doesn't know is that next week he is having his hooves trimmed and shoes fitted - then he'll be hot to trot - :^O
"I traded in my entire collection of rare cheese to get you this petri dish"
"Oh. Well, I sold all my science equipment to get you this neat looking cheese slicer"
"Did you keep the receipt?"
Just popping in to catch up with the thread.

Towery.......made me splutter my cuppa that did :^O
You're so right about Deno scuppering the best laid plans time and time again 😄
Has Deno had shoes on before? and is he good with farrier or need sedating?

Methinks we will soon find out Borzoi - :^O
We pick out his hooves each day but it takes a lot of effort - the thing is when you pick up one of his feet he tends to lose his balance - we have to prop him up against a tree - :O

*waits to hear of flattened farrier and/or Creeky and adds block and tackle to list of needed items*
More coffee spluttered...."propped against a tree" :^O
Thinks that sedating will have him in what we call a Polo position 😮
Many years ago we had a super little Cocker who used to have his feet trimmed, laying upside down with his feet in the air 😄
Seriously, just something else to throw at you...have you heard of the Tellington Touch...wraps etc?
Part of the idea is that it teaches an animal where their feet are by putting vetwrap etc on and walking them over bamboo sticks or whatever, what I was thinking of when I said perhaps the orchard will help him learn how to manage his balance and feet 🙂
Seems to be a good article ...

Wondered if the sarcoids were any better since on antibiotics too?
Sorry, as if you don't give us lots of info already, I ask even more :-D

I'm wracking my braincell to think....... Gothic will know
I believe he had a special set of shoes at one point to help hold his front hooves together, but I'm hazy enough on that to wonder if I read it on one of the horsey health sites I have revisited lately.
How strange not to remember
I do know he came very close to having pink toes as they actually make a horsey hoof varnish :-D

Our vet thinks the farrier will want to fit special, (or is that expensive?), shoes until the splits in two of his hooves have grown out.

Miss C has been treating his hooves with hoof oil, it's dark brown though not pink.
