I always geld my mule foals before they go to new homes. This one time I didn't and I never will again. He wasn't quite dropped and his new people wanted to take him home. OK. They didn't live far away and I could keep an eye on him. I kept encouraging them to geld him but every time there was something that prevented it from happening. Now that he is 2, they called me and said "come get him"!. He still isn't gelded and they brought in a mare and stalled her next to Pep. Talk about setting off a bomb. He now believes he is a stud (technically he is). He started attacking full size horses with a vengence. They're lucky no one got seriously hurt or killed. Now I get to deal with my mistake and poor Pepper has to go through all this.
He is very studdy, big cheeks, tight neck, and gives a whole new meaning to "tripod"
. Anyway, we have an appointment on July 1 to have him gelded. I still love this guy and inspite of all his confusion, he is still an extremely sweet and lovable boy. I'd love to keep him (and just might do it!) but hubby would rather I didn't. He will stay here to recuperate from surgery and to live with mares and mules to teach him respect and manners again.
This boy is awesome, all 30" of him!
Pep as a baby,
and Pep now as a studdy 2 yr old. Look at those cheeks!
