Re: [RC] Questiions about Gelding a Colt - Karen Sullivan


----- Original Message -----
From: "Beth Bennett" <endurance4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>


Hi all,

My very first foal (colt) is 5 months old now and I am starting to think
about thinking about gelding or not gelding.  My husband (who has NEVER
neutered anything he owns) thinks that I need to wait a few years to geld
him.

*I've heard that argument a few times (lets wait a few more years), by
someone
who never would neuter a cat or dog-yuck.

*Well, thats not life on the Sullivan Rancho.  Everything male is neutered
except
the 14  year old son.  Even the husband is snipped, althouh he sired some
healthy and not too dumb kids, two was enough.  I feel like it was a good
cross...
the kids needed some brains (my side of the family)...and through the
infusion of
his good strong Irish peasant stock they got some decent bone and vision..

Just leave your husband out of the decision ( mine has no influence on horse
decisions)
and call the vet!
Karen
