Deeds

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.
He Is Indeed, Rest in Peace
A beloved SAFE alum departed this world yesterday. Deeds, adopted by the Stewart family in 2012, was humanely euthanized due to colic last night. Deeds lived a happy life as a companion to many of the Stewart’s horses, and he was a good friend to all. He was a quirky…

Update from Sheridan: Deeds is doing well; he’s here at my place in Monroe. He did a month of training with Kim Gatley in Maltby, and it did wonders for him both on groundwork and under saddle. He’s very quiet and generally very sweet. I just wish I had more time to…

Foster home update: Deeds is doing so well! He has put on weight, is very relaxed, and loves spending quality time with his best friend Goliath in the pasture everyday. The weather has been so nice that they’ve both been out 24/7 the last few days. I’ve been riding…

Since Deeds has been returned to SAFE, he spent several months in a foster home where he was started lightly back under saddle, mostly bareback, and was ridden and led on walks on the trails. Unfortunately, he developed what turned out to be a mild case of cellulitis…

From Kate, his former adopter: Deeds spends the majority of his day in pasture turnout. He is happiest with another horse and has been pastured with both sexes, young and old, big and small. He generally has a pretty mellow, get-along, kind of attitude towards his…

Due to financial issues, life changes and an upcoming move, Deeds is looking for a new home. SAFE will be helping his current adopter find him a new home from his current location in Bellingham. If he does not find a home by spring, he will need to be returned to SAFE.
