Deeds
registered name: He is Indeed (Jockey Club)
description: 1996 bay Thoroughbred gelding
type of rescue: owner surrender
intake date: 1/19/2010
adoption date: 3/7/2011
length of time with SAFE: 1 year, 1 month
ADOPTED by Darby & Brittney Stewart of Redmond WA
Deeds was originally rescued in 2007 after being purchased sight-unseen from a dealer in Oregon as an eventing prospect. When he was delivered, it quickly became apparent that Deeds had some old injuries that were going to keep him from any kind of eventing career so he was surrendered to our rescue. Deeds raced for 9 years and has old injuries to both front feet and some arthritis in his left hind.
Deeds was fostered for a time with SAFE supporter and trainer Brittney Stewart, and he developed a very strong friendship with her gelding Odin. Brittney decided to offer Deeds a home for life as a companion, and he lived happily as Odin’s other half for many years. In 2018, Deeds was humanely laid to rest after a bout of colic.
