I had my 3 year old skewbald Shetland colt gelded this morning. He would have made a super stallion and I felt sad gelding him but the hope is that once broken I can get him a good working home. At least now he will be easier to keep until that home is found.

Hope he's recovering well :fc:

Hope all goes well for him. Its always sad (I think) gelding a colt that you think may have made a good stallion. Alas there are more than enough stallions and owners partaking in indiscriminate breeding. Some will disagree i'm sure, anyway hope he works well and you find him a good home!

Benny has recovered well but the bill came in at the weekend. £274. I was told when I made the appointment that cost would be around £160-£200 so was bit shocked that it was more. He was knocked out which must have put the price up. Seems a lot for a Shetland when Toto who is over 14 hands was the same price last September.

That is expensive. My fells were about £250 each 3 yrs ago and they were just sedated. I suppose it takes the same length if time whatever the size, it's just usually the anaesthetic that is more.
Hope he finds a good home
