A positive outcome..

SLEEPING AND READY TO BE PREPPED FOR SURGERY

Horse people keep stallions for all types of reasons. Breeding is the most common. So the castrations I am most familiar with are on yearlings or 2 year olds. Today we did a 7 year old Quarter Horse I named "Lincoln", because the owner was not on-site to tell us his name. 

PREPPED

A castration on a older horse has some challenging qualities you don't have with yearlings. Mostly they are just bigger...the horse and the balls! 

ONE OFF...ONE TO GO

There were 5 assistants along with the veterinarian on this job. Sounds like a bit of overkill but it went so smoothly and everybody just had one job to do, so we could all do our job really well. Lincoln was a terrific patient and I know will be a great horse for this family now that his testosterone is cut off...

FINAL CHECK...HE IS STANDING AND READY TO SLEEP IT OFF!
