  • Looked like he was enjoying the water. <)

  • he shaked at 1:03.

  • Walnut Hall Limited own him after the end of this year, and when he is no longer able to breed...which could very well be twenty years from now...he will have a forever home, and a BEAUTIFUL home at that, with them:-)

  • why should he be ending at the butcher after what he has won....i will buy for 3000 dollars once he is done and give him a good life

  • Dewey's back! Go Dew Go!

  • spang99 - actually, great horses do end up at the knacker - look at the Thoroughbred named Ferdinand. He was the '87 Kentucky Derby winner that ended up in a Japanese slaughter house.

  • This horse, and most harness racing horses WILL NOT end up at the butcher. This horse is actually already arranged to begin a breeding career next year. Most Standardbreds go on to be bred, be pets/riding horses, or Amish horses.

  • Dewey did it!!!! Congrats to Ray Schnittker, his wife Janet, and his whole team. Ray is a true horseman and Dewey is the best!

  • spang99, why is this so ignorant?

  • Nothing about the original post or horse. I love Deweycheatumnhowe. he appears to have the heart of a lion and the disposition of a puppy. I was replying to the person that stated that horses like the great Deweycheatumnhowe end up at the butcher. Nothing could be further from the truth.

  • I don't understand why they have a rope on his tail?

  • You can't tell by watching the video but the tail tie is connected to a post behind him and once he goes into the water the rope holding his head is tied, leaving him swimming stationary for about 20 minutes. The head and tail tie prevent him from leaving the pond, but he can swim sideways a bit. Then, you just untie the tail rope from the post and he swims freely to the other side. Saves a ton of time instead of having to wait with each horse, you can carry on with work while they exercise!

  • he really seemed to enjoy his swim! good luck in the hambletonian!!!!

  • I give Ray all the credit in the world. Ray has been doing this for quite some time and has ceratinly paid his dues. Good luck in the Hambo, Ray. As they say in the comic books... "You're a good man, Charlie Brown."

  • he is such an amazing horse
