Applause is getting Brain Surgery the DEED is done !

...Also, Applause is booked in for gelding on Monday, the final straw was him getting out again yesterday and getting in with Canela - it can't happen especially if we need to put him in livery so sadly he gets the chop. As Bri is sick can't do it today maybe later if she goes to sleep but have a vid of him I must post. :shock:

It's going to take me time to upload the vids but have two recent pics the first is a scruffy unwashed ungroomed shot but would look good as a unicorn - if anyone is up to doing that - Krickette - hint hint !!! ;)

The second is at bath time and when I have trimmed his whiskers - time for a bow - you can see his pinto markings when he is wet on his flank and shoulder anyone want to guess if it's anything other than tobi and sabino?

Feeling a bit emotional about taking Appy to the vets tomorrow afternoon, I know I am doing the best for him and us but always seems a shame. If we are a bit better tomorrow am going to try and do a vid of him playing footie which is very funny. :D

I feel SO guilty - left him at the vets....pacing his box next to an 18hh hunter !!!! Poor little lad - it's such a shame, I know other mini breeders will agree with me when I say it's hard to get such a small mini being so well put togther and then to geld him is a shame but he's so unhappy.....he will be a very sweet cuddly gelding with a naughty streak !!! :lol:....and will be great for my therapy work. ;) The DEED is set for tomorrow morning and then they are keeping him in for 48 hours for me so collect him on Thursday. Would you flipping believe it - Cherish is all ouchy today and has signs of the lami back so she is back on stable rest at the mo !!!! :roll: never rains !!! :-w

Do not be surprised if it takes a while...it takes a month for the testosterone to clear the body, and then I would say another five for the brain to catch up with the fact that he no longer has testicles!!!
Bertie STILL thinks he is entire, but now, a year later, cannot remember what he is supposed to do! :rofl

Yes I know, my Lipi never did forget as he was gelded late but I am not expecting much change for some months - at least I could enter him into some shows as a gelding but looking like a stallion - lol !!!
