Stallions and Dwarfs


I am now on Equine Surgery for two weeks. Today I had a 2 year old cryptorchid Appaloosa who was getting gelded. I got to scrub in and assist with the surgery. It was a very cool experience and now there is one less stallion in the world. Definitely not a bad thing! We also had a miniature dwarf come in to have her feet trimmed and teeth floated. Cosette was so small that her back only came up to my knee. Dwarf minis are uncommon and usually don’t live very long because they often have numerous health problems. Below is a picture of a mini dwarf so you can get an idea of just how tiny they are!
