Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

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

Photobucket

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!

Nice photos. The horses look really well groomed and cared for.

 

I get horses past here regularly but a lot of them look like they're kept in mucky places and boy, do they stink!



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

I forgot to look at FHG yesterday. I miss a day and miss a pic!

 

He's knocking on now? What's the letters for on the fence posts?

They're out of position as I had just rolled the field - they are dressage markers.

Thanks, I see. What's their function when they're in their proper place?

I think this article explains it far better than I could.

I see what they're for now but the only things I know about horses is that they're big, strong, smell revolting and leave big piles of stuff in the road out here! laughing

 

That said, I know even less about dressage although I have watched it being performed.

A well kept and healthy horse should have very little scent.  Obviously after hard exercise they will be somewhat sweaty but as in humans there is a distinct difference between the smell of fresh and stale sweat.

 

Horses are a prey animal and wouldn't last long in the wild with a strong scent.

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

I think some of the horses I see around here are somewhat neglected because they're absolutely filthy.

 

Posh and Deno always seem to look well groomed and very smart.

 

BTW, you earlier mentioned posts missing off the beginning of the thread? I looked back and #1 is still there OK so whereabouts on the thread have some gone missing?

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

You're right - the early posts are still there but I'm sure when I did check before that posts more than 10 years old had gone - strange

Aye up there creaks yes we are all good. Grandson has a baby. Over 1 year old now. Not really too sure where the time goes but it does. 

well creaks! I use Maps on my phone, what I've discovered is not only do you have to listen to the satnav but you have to look at the top left-hand corner to see which way the arrow is pointing. That's the bit that I can't get into the habit of doing, now.......normally this wouldn't be an issue ....... not if you know your left from your right and that's where the problem lies. 😂 

I was going from derby to Chester it wasn't till I reached a signpost that said 12 miles to Blackpool Pier that I kind of figured something had gone wrong 😩

Re: Deno's Diary Part 3, A new Chapter

Going to be tough all the time we're in tier 4 looking after the fearsome four.  We normally get help with mucking out, grooming and feeding them - looks like the wife and I are going to have to do it all now cry  

 

Still, could be worse, nice quiet Christmas coming up grinning
