Thank you so much for the compliment! This year has flown by sooo fast!! I'm so glad I met you, you're a wonderful guy! You're pretty good to my kids, also. Let's plan for many more years flying by, and lots more anniversaries.

The castration of CCI. (humor?)
Most veterinarians and breed associations advise that only the
best animals should be kept for breeding purposes. Adequate
facilities and training are usual prerequisites to correctly
handling a stud. Some stallions can be worked and ridden like
other horses, but most exhibit more aggressive behavior and can
be unpredictable. Stallions are often kept by themselves because
they tend to be dominant over mares and geldings, and fights
often occur unless they are separated. This necessary separation
is the most difficult thing for animals that normally live in
herds.
When your cute little colt becomes a pawing, nipping, 800-pound
collection of testosterone, it's time to consider the "change of
life." Castration is one of the most common surgical procedures
performed in equine medicine.
Castrating at an early age makes sense because young colts are
easy to handle, the testicles are smaller and the incision can be
sutured closed. That means less swelling and a resultantly good
cosmetic appearance. Horses castrated in their weanling year do
not develop some of the musculature and neck and facial features
associated with stallions. These early geldings keep finer
features, thinner necks and lighter muscle mass, though they can
grow taller than they might if left entire.
Many castrations are performed on colts between one and two years
old, and due to the larger size of the testicles, the incisions
must remain open. Since open incisions are more susceptible to
fly irritation, spring and fall are the preferred times of the
year, before or after fly season. (In general, avoid extremes in
weather because they slow healing and can add to post-surgical
complications.)
Veterinarians use two castration techniques. "Up" castrations are
done with the tranquilized horse standing. Additional anesthetic
is injected into the nerves of the testicular cords. The surgeon
stands near the horse, leans over and removes the testicle using
a special piece of equipment that cuts the cord, crimps and seals
the blood vessel and removes the testicle.
Horses are given a short-acting general anesthetic for "down"
castrations. The veterinarian usually ties up one of the horse's
hind legs and performs the surgery while kneeling over the prone
animal.
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages and owners
should discuss the choices with their veterinarian. Neither
technique is universally better than the other.
A new technique using a clamp-like devise applied to the
testicular cord is being tested at the University of Georgia
Veterinary School. It is attached to a regular power drill. The
drill spins the clamp, which twists the cord until it breaks.
This technique effectively seals off the blood vessels. There
seems to be less swelling than in the standard procedures, with
no increase in complications.

(Living with you requires such high drug dosages that I'm lucky to know it's 2007) I'm so glad I met you, you're a wonderful guy! ( I'm taking you for all you're worth....but you haven't made enough for me to leave you yet) you're pretty good to my kids, also. (They've gotten used to your screaming at them "never go in the bedroom when you hear a Guns-N-Roses ballad playing...") Let's plan for many more years flying by, and lots more anniversaries.(your days of looking at other chicks are over, de-nut boy!)
