A friend of mine took in a very old mini stallion (in his mid 20's) in a rescue type situation. Her vet says he's just too old to geld and he's miserable being alone. You know the type....pacing all his weight off and very unhappy alone.
My suggestion was to find an old mare that would NOT take (get in foal) so he could have his companion and start enjoying what time he has left. Worries are that that "won't take" mare would turn up in foal though! Do they make birth control for mares? Or....are there any other suggestions you can make? She can't give him a gelding buddy, he won't tolerate one.
