| I've raised several. Well, 5 and two of them became geldings, but I've found one in the neighbor's kill pen and I'm going to let Kinsey get him. How do you tell age by teeth? He doesn't exactly have papers............
Let the discussion begin  |

| So you are going to pick up an unpapered stallion, that you dont know the age of or why he is in the kill pen. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? |

To give the poor boy a home maybe out of the kindness of her heart?
This doesn't mean he is going to be a breeding stallion! A quick snip and he is an unpapered gelding. |

Probably not in bad shape. A rancher lost his lease and has to let them go. They are using the saddle horses right now to gather the cattle. I actually got two this week, have rehomed one already.

How much does it cost to geld in your area?? That cost goes right onto the "purchase" price. Why not buy a horse that you know will not automatically need vet care and added cost upfront?? |

You never know if one will be the perfect cross for one of your guys... And then tell us too... I'm supposed to be downsizing but find my self looking again (hint) and I just added 2 to my herd already this summer. |

Edited to say Tia this is a great idea cause I would have bought the pony that Ryan Pedone rode that ran with the big horses times this year. If you have never seen the dog and pony show at Diamonds and Dirt you have missed a real treat. If you go to youtube you can see the run.
