Re: [RC] Height of growing horses - Chris Paus

haha. Our plans are to remove his manhood this fall when fly season is over. I've soo been waffling about it though, because he's just such a nice colt in every way and the spitting image of Sambor, his grandsire. But, practically speaking, I don't have room for two stallions, nor do I want to deal with two of them. I certainly don't want to train and school a 16 H colt full of testosterone. He's got an awesomely good disposition now, but I know that changes once they realize what they are and what they can do with it!

If you don't want him to grow too tall, feeding him steroids would be
the best thing to do. If you want him to grow taller, cut his balls off
and lower the steroids in his system even more.

Steroids, while they increase muscle mass, also stunt growth of the long
bones.
