I hope the treatment is a huge success! He’s such a handsome guy

Sending you all the jingles!

Jingles for your boy. I hope he responds to treatment

Unfortunately it can take quite a while for hormones to come down when older stallions are gelded. I may have missed how old this guy is but even in a long 2 year old or 3 year old, it takes about 2 months or so for some of the behavior to fizzle out. So even if he could withstand the stress of it, it still wouldn’t have an immediate impact.

Unfortunately, we had to lay our sweet boy to rest this evening. He started bleeding again this afternoon and I knew it was time. He was an extremely sweet, well behaved stallion and one of the most personable horses I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He had a tummy full of carrots and a mouth full of grass. He passed fat and shiny knowing love and kindness for the last three months of his life. I so wish I could have done more for him

[Inimitable]

I’m so sorry. I was thinking of you all yesterday and was going to ask for an update. What a lucky boy he was to have you as his person for the last three months.

I’m heartbroken for your loss. Thank you for doing right by him.

[EADoug]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[Paint_Party]

What a beautiful, sweet face he had.

I’m sorry your journey with him did not have a happy ending. But you showed him love and kindness the last few months of his life, and that’s a testament to your character.

[Gardenhorse]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thanks for all the love and care you gave him. He was lucky to find you.

Run free sweet boy…. You were well and truly loved. My heart goes out to your Momma.

That is hard. Good for you for the strength to stop your horse’s suffering. Big hug.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been there. It’s a hard decision to make, but he’s no longer suffering. You did right by him. My deepest sympathy.
