I fought my way back in here for an update as my 'sources' had dried up; and can only hope he hasn't done anything horrible in the intervening months!
Wishing you all well, Creeky: horses, people, ponies...... all of you. I was surprised and happy that this thread was still here. I might have disappeared from threads, but Deno has never disappeared from my thoughts. All the best x

Hi - Deno is fine - it was his 19th birthday today - treated with extra karrits and Polos 🙂

Happy Birthday Deno

Poor old Deno has been suffering this year 😞
He’s had a persistent abscess in his hoof that keeps flaring up - he has had numerous courses of anti-biotics, farrier and vet visits and gone through Lord knows how many poultice boots.
The vet was here again today and is coming back next week to take X-Rays - hopefully that ŵill clarify exactly what and where the problem is - fingers crossed.

He's got something jabbed right in there?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Hopefully the X-Ray will show up any problem like that.

I hope you find out what's wrong with the poor old lad.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Hi - I should have done an update earlier - my apologies.
The vet came yesterday - checked the hoof that has had the abscess and nothing showed up on the X-Ray - as far as we can tell there is no infection so the hole has been filled with hoof putty and a poultice boot fitted until the putty hardens, one or two days.
However the vet also examined his front right leg and thinks he may have laminitis in that leg - he’s on bed rest and pain killers for a week and the vet will call again next week.

The old lad is still going strong - not too keen on the hot weather.
He’ll probably take it out on Freddie when he comes tomorrow to do his feet.

He's knocking on now? Is he catching you up?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Hello there,Elph! Nice to see you.
I was thinking of Deno too hence posting. He leads a charmed life doesn't he? Long may it continue too, with good health.
The Creeky family are doing a wonderful job. MDCC died a death here but it would be great to do a bit of fundraising for Deno. Does anybody have any ideas?

Oh such a handsome boy... would he eat frozen carrots on this weather to keep him cool? Does he still like Polo mints?

He loves his karrits and Polos 🙂
We made them all apple ice lollies, (apple juice and sliced apples frozen in containers), yesterday -they loved them.

This dry weather has totally killed all our grazing
We we are having to buy in hay, something we normally only do in the winter 😞
