This is My Website
My name is Honeycutt and I am a horse. Because of SAFE, I have so many wonderful things in my life. I have a little house to stand in when it’s too rainy or too sunny. I have hays to eat every day three times a day, and there is tasty, tasty grain in my bowl. I have a rainsheet for when it gets too wet and a blanket for when it gets too cold. I have friends that I can play with and bite, and people who come to scrape my feet and my teeth when they get too long. I am a lucky horse.
But there are other horses that are not so lucky, and some that are just plain unlucky. SAFE is there to help as many of the unlucky horses as they can, but they need many dollars to do that. I am always thinking of things I can do for SAFE to get dollars for them, like my painting, or my Poem Book. But now there is also the Honeycutt Nation Fund for Dollars, and this is a very good way to help horses.
You can join Honeycutt Nation by pledging 10 dollars or 25 or even this many: 50. Every month the members of Honeycutt Nation will collect their dollars and use them to sponsor a SAFE horse! If we have 500 dollars, we can sponsor one SAFE horse! I want to sponsor TWO SAFE horses, so for that we need 1000 dollars every month.
Here is where I will update everyone on the progress of the growth of the Honeycutt Nation. I hope you will think about joining the Honeycutt Nation because we can help horses together. That will make use all feel happy, and it will make unlucky horses into luckier ones.
My True History, as told by SAFE
“In 2005, Honeycutt was rescued from a feedlot in Yakima where he was scheduled to ship to slaughter. He bore three brands that seemed to indicate that he was an ex-bucking stock horse, and his ability to buck removed any doubt. He was healthy and sound, but terribly afraid of people. SAFE made several attempts to start Honeycutt under saddle but eventually we realized that it was too much for him and that he would never be safe to ride.
“Despite his fear, Honeycutt had lovely manners and was a wonderful horse to be around. Once we stopped trying to ride him, his artistic side began to bloom. He wrote beautiful haiku poetry which he shared on his blog, and was also an accomplished painter who worked both solo and in collaboration with other artists. He helped with many of the SAFE horses, including Chip, Owen, and most notably, Sinatra. Honeycutt quickly recognized that Sinatra was Special, and did much to help him navigate the turbulent waters of life.
“Honeycutt and Sinatra were adopted together in 2014, but in 2019, when we learned they were not receiving proper care, they were returned to SAFE. Months after Honeycutt returned, he was stricken with a mysterious illness that our vets could not diagnose or treat. After a week of trying absolutely everything we could think of, we recognized that Honeycutt was miserable, and decided to let him go peacefully and painlessly. Honeycutt is missed terribly, and thought of often. He left an indelible mark on this organization, and he lives on through his art and his writing.”
