Update from volunteer rider Lucy: Deeds was fun today … with all the windy weather, he brought out his get-up-and-go! I was really excited because today was the first time he really accepted contact (rather than being behind the bit). So it appears we are making…

by Bonnie Hammond | Jan 30, 2008 | Honeycutt
Honeycutt and his friends all got their teeth floated today. I was extremely pleased that when my vet arrived, Honeycutt was very interested in him and showed no fear toward him at all! He was actually quite outgoing today…reaching through his feed door to take hold…

Deeds update from Lucy: I’m sorry to hear about Deeds’ colic episode! I saw him today and he looked good. I think the pelleted bedding is helping a bit because there was less sand in his stall. He was really perky and excited to be getting out of his stall and move…

Mr Deeds had a slight bout of colic over the weekend. He became upset when the mare from the next paddock was taken out for turnout, and he worked himself up into a bit of a lather.…started rolling and groaning and not eating his breakfast. The barn owner where he…

Deeds Update from Dec 31 2007
by Bonnie Hammond | Dec 31, 2007 | Deeds
I worked with Deeds again over the weekend, and he was pretty stiff. Probably due to the cold weather we have been having. He was pretty lazy on the lunge and under saddle, and due to his stiffness, I just did walk/trot circles and serpentines with him. He still…

by Bonnie Hammond | Dec 3, 2007 | Honeycutt
Poor Honeycutt. He does not like this weather at all. There’s a huge pine tree branch that fell into his paddock last night.…he is eyeing it as if to say “Hmmm, could I somehow fashion that into a boat to sail away in?” We are all thinking about building an…

Honeycutt got his feet trimmed yesterday. He was a pretty good boy for the farrier.…he’s getting better and better at dealing with new people. There was one little incident that really surprised me.…he had a moment of panic while in the cross ties, and he went…

Update from Allison: I played with Mr. Deeds today and I’ve got to say, he is one nice horse. He stood nicely in the cross-ties — jigged a bit when the horses in the pasture started running around — and was quiet and cooperative while I tacked him up. Put him on the…
